Frostbite

The bleak winter landscape of small town New Hampshire provides the setting for newcomer Nathan Graziano’s brilliant chronicle of working class life. Frostbite connects such unlikely characters as a hirsute librarian, a testosterone-addled dwarf with an air guitar problem, a professional convenience store clerk with punk rock aspirations and the vicarious victim of a devastating moose accident (to name a few) in their attempts to transcend the monotony of their menial existences—only to find themselves bound by the natural elements and their own demons. With compassion and humor, Nathan Graziano unflinchingly details his characters’ struggles toward creative inspiration, redemption and love.
