Description
Craig Amundsen’s world is in a state of flux—or, as he sees it, falling apart. Settling into his 50s, he feels less and less a part of his beloved San Francisco, as the gay mecca gives way to tech bros and overpriced real estate. In the wake of a failed relationship and on the cusp of losing a job he loves, Craig jumps at the chance for jury duty, if only as a diversion from his own problems. The trial challenges his assumptions about the world around him, ultimately revealing a way toward embracing the inevitability of change—and even the possibility of love.
Exit Wounds examines the challenges of aging in a youth-centered culture, with a playful sense of humor and a touch of romance.
Lewis DeSimone is the author of the novels Chemistry, The Heart’s History, and Channeling Morgan. A longtime resident of San Francisco, he currently lives in Minneapolis.
