Daniel Robinette

Oxen and Lions Daniel Robinette

Called the first quintessential novel of the modern generation, Oxen and Lions is one of Daniel Robinette's early masterpieces and a classic example of his honestly humorous, heartrendingly confessional and often times deeply layered writing style. A poignant examination of both youth and ambition, the novel follows one of Robinette's most unforgettable cast of characters, including the introductions of some of his most well known. The story follows the seemingly hapless Geoffrey Panello as he journeys from the comfort of his quiet life in California to the wildly unpredictable world, and people, the modern Bohemian dreamscape of Asheville, NC. It is a tale of artistic dreams, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love, and vanishing illusions. First published in 2012, Oxen and Lions is quickly propelling Daniel Robinette to establishing himself as one of the most promising and exciting writers of the twenty first century.
