Beyond the Baths of Stars
by Schneider K. Rancy - African American Interest, Fiction, Friendship, Literary Fiction
Eurick Ulysse is irrevocably trapped: by poverty, by class and by his immigrant parents’ expectations. Disillusioned by dead-end jobs, unaffordable college aspirations and the doldrums of his South Florida hood, he resolves to piss his life away getting drunk with his friends on the beach. But the night Eurick drags a delirious and half-drowned Ana María Cortez out of the sea, everything changes. Carefree, unconventional, and well-to-do, Ana comes from another world. She invites Eurick and his friends out on a wild joyride through the Miami streets, a night replete with casino runs, boat thefts and strange surreal encounters. Soon, Eurick finds himself rebelling against every constraint that’s ever held him back. It isn’t long before he realizes just how trapped he is, growing more and more desperate to do whatever it takes to escape.
