“Adopted by a pair of diehard hippies,
restless, marginal Jude Keffy-Horn spends much of his youth getting high with
his best friend, Teddy, in their bucolic and deeply numbing Vermont town. But when Teddy dies of an
overdose on the last day of 1987, Jude's relationship with drugs and with his
parents devolves to new extremes. Sent to live with his pot-dealing father in New York City's East
Village, Jude stumbles
upon straight edge, an underground youth culture powered by the paradoxical aggression
of hardcore punk and a righteous intolerance for drugs, meat, and sex. With
Teddy's half brother, Johnny, and their new friend, Eliza, Jude tries to honor
Teddy's memory through his militantly clean lifestyle. But his addiction to
straight edge has its own dangerous consequences. While these teenagers battle
to discover themselves, their parents struggle with this new generation's
radical reinterpretation of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll and their grown-up
awareness of nature and nurture, brotherhood and loss. Moving back and forth
between Vermont and New York City, Ten Thousand Saints is an
emphatically observed story of a frayed tangle of family members brought
painfully together by a death, then carried along in anticipation of a new and
unexpected life. With empathy and masterful skill, Eleanor Henderson has
conjured a rich portrait of the modern age and the struggles that unite and
divide generations.”
