DESCRIPTION:
JM said Stunning. Honest, gripping. Found is an existential tale of the choices we make and confronts the darkness that lies within.A cathartic account, the author takes us into the mind of Luke, who lives astride two worlds, his journey details the expectation placed on his mere existence, the shallow pleasure of casual encounters, temporary highs and the s. Dangerously Relevant "Found" gives an unrepentant account of the contemporary urban young male in a New Zealand context.Based on the fact this appears to be LaMoureaux's debut this is an outstanding read, not only for the style and viscosity of the text, but the razor sharp dissection of what appears to be the apex of the young adults of contemporary NZ. Hedoni. Bittersweet I liked it. It was kind of like I had asked Luke to tell me about himself and he replied with a whole damn novel. At least that’s what it feels like. It’s nice. Not that that’s an appropriate word. I both like and dislike him. It’s blunt. It’s good. A brilliant read if you aren’t all rainbows and happines
"I was bored with the place. From living under a train station to bluffing through drug tests, Luke challenges himself and the life that has brought him to this point, and what the potential future may be. Scathing and unapologetic in his views, humor and interactions with people, Luke is a terrifying reflection of a young man lost in modern society.. Luke Wood is a 26-year-old bartender living in Auckland, New Zealand. When his long-term relationship falls apart, Luke is thrust into a change of situation that makes him question his place in the world. The issue I was having was similar to my problems with sex in my early 20's: Sensual Nihilism." - Luke Wood
