Postmodern Sludge from the Girl Next Door

PARENTS ARE INSIGHTFUL ORACLES OF EXPERIENCE; OLDER SIBLINGS SET THE STANDARD, AND GALLANT KNIGHTS CARRY HELPLESS MAIDENS AWAY TO SUN-LIT CASTLES. BUT NOT IN NORWOOD, AND NOT IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
 

Welcome to the world of postmodern-sludge: a time of convoluted roles and expectations where following the rules doesn’t always equate success—let alone happiness. Set amidst Idaho’s rugged heartland, Europe’s history-steeped streets, and California’s smoke-shrouded greenery, twenty-something siblings Sandy and Peter Darling struggle with “what they’re supposed to do,” post-college and post-divorce respectively. For recent graduates, culture junkies, and travelers, Postmodern Sludge from the Girl Next Door chronicles the Darlings’ comical, at times agonizing, adventures as they explore how today, as much as in the past, it’s not sex, but rather family, drugs, and rock and roll that make the world go round.
