The first days of summer: Jim Praley is home from college, ready to unlock Tulsa's secrets. He drives the highways in his parents' car. Finally he makes himself stop and walk into a bar. He's invited to a party. And there he meets Adrienne Booker, a girl who rules Tulsa, in her way. A high-school dropout and promising artist with a penthouse apartment, she takes a special interest in Jim. Through her eyes, he will rediscover his hometown: its wasted sprawl, the beauty of its late nights and, at the city's centre, the unsleeping light of its skyscrapers. Five years later, Jim comes home again, to face the truth about that summer. A novel in two parts, A Map of Tulsa is love story and elegy, a meditation on mobility and its consequences, a book about the distances inside America.
