The Sunset Route: Freight Trains, Forgiveness, and Freedom on the Rails in the American West
by Carrot Quinn
A Train Ride Through Trauma (7/6/2021)
Carrot Quinn's The Sunset Route is filled with decadent language and settings that reflect upon the narrator's internal struggle, offering her a tie to the physical world as she sails through a whirlwind of emotions and trauma. A tale about a journey to not only find oneself but to find solace in the world, Quinn paints a rich picture of her travels across the United States in an attempt to find release in nature. Moving as fast as the train she travels on, Quinn delivers us through the darkness that pooled throughout her life to find the ever sought light at the end of the tunnel.
