At night we walk in circles / Daniel Alarcon 374 pgs.
Nelson is an acting student at the conservatory. His life is typical for his age, confused about relationships, going through changes, not quite sure of a direction or a goal. Then he joins a traveling theater group and starts a lengthy trip throughout the country performing an old play with a history. Eventually the team lands in T---- an unnamed town with significance to one of the troop. While there, Nelson is mistaken for a dead man and ends up with a interesting role. Although it is supposed to be temporary, his stay lingers and he loses patience. He bolts to return home with the hope of rekindling his relationship with a woman he broke with before departing. He is quickly sucked into some strange situations and things end badly. Or maybe they don't. It took me awhile to get into this book but at some point, had a hard time putting it down.
