Trip '89 by Chris Foster Tolley

Soaked in the music, possibilities, and social and cultural turmoil of the late 1980s, “Trip ’89” relays what can happen when you hit the open road with an equally open mind.

Told in the first person, this vibrant novel follows the exploits of twenty-two-year-old Cea, who is suffering from a severe case of ‘SOMO’ – a Sense of Missing Out.

As his personal malaise is magnified by the crushing weight of 1989’s global events, Cea decides simply to get on out there.

With this thought foremost in his mind, he buys a campervan, restores it, and sets off on a transformative odyssey across the ever-changing landscape in the final year of a turbulent decade.
