Caught

by Lisa Moore

New(ish) Book of the Week , September 10, 2014

If you let go of your expectations of a thriller plot from Caught's thriller premise—a young man, caught smuggling pot by boat into Newfoundland four years ago, escapes from prison and makes his way west to try again for one big score—you'll be released to enjoy the its real pleasures: Lisa Moore's sentence-by-sentence observation of a man suspended in extremis, who tries on a new identity at each improvised stop in his fugitive life in search of one that fits.
