Faraway Green

Kirkus Reviews says:

“Young is genuinely witty and seems to be enjoying himself as he keeps the plot stirred.”

BookLife Prize in Fiction (Semi Finalist):

“Young’s short, hilarious farce stays perfectly on point…”

One muggy summer in New England, an unemployed agrostologist–otherwise known as the Grassman–goes to work for the wealthy Bill Borrington, a “rock-hard dreamer” with a motley crew of hangers-on and a cattle farm in the Berkshires. His mission: to transform a weed-ridden field into a carpet of pristine putting green that will bring riches to Bill and win the admiration of the ravishing Autumn Bliss. To reach his goal, the Grassman must contend with hostile cowboys, inmates from a women’s prison, bad digestion, and above all the dreaded curse of the Zombini Sisters.
