Wyoming

[Gifford’s] new novel, Wyoming, is a tender and understated story. –Jonathan Miles in The New York Times Book Review

A woman and her young son travel by car through the southern and Midwestern United States in this heartbreakingly spare novel-in-dialogue. As the mother drives, she and the boy, Roy, trade impressions of the landscape and of life, approaching an understanding of how the two interrelate. Everybody needs Wyoming, she tells him.
