Amidst the slow economic disintegration of the post-industrial American Midwest, the town (Eau Seche) struggles to reimagine itself. A late-night car crash, likely the result of drunken driving, provides just such an opportunity. Multiple perspectives on the event, however, threaten to rend the fragile fabric of the town\u0026rsquo;s belief in itself.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelation of the novel to the artist\u0026rsquo;s practice\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAuthority, belief and consensus are the ideas that animate the various practices of Nicholas Frank.
