Jane Goes North by Joe R. Lansdale - Paperback

From Edgar Award winner Joe R. Lansdale comes a laugh out loud road novel full of outrageous wit, driven by the power of storytelling as only Lansdale can offer.

Jane’s headed north.
And weird doesn’t begin to cover it.

With no car, no cash, and plenty of emotional baggage, Jane sets off for her sister’s wedding in Boston—motivated less by love than spite. Her travel plan? A barely running borrowed car and an even shakier travel companion.

What follows is a raw, darkly funny, and unexpectedly tender odyssey through the overlooked corners of America—populated by drifters, misfits, and roadside revelations.

In Jane Goes North, Joe R. Lansdale trains his unflinching eye and singular voice on a story of identity, reinvention, and the stubborn hope that propels us forward. Beneath the grit and gallows humor this standalone gem offers something rare: a road novel with a beating heart.

“Joe R. Lansdale writes humanity at its unvarnished, unpredictable, unbeatable best.”
— Robin Hobb, Bestselling author of the Farseer Trilogy
