Kim Hughes '02 (pen name Kendare Blake), Sleepwalk Society (PRA Publishing, 2009)

Sleepwalk Society, Blake’s first novel, is a coming-of-age story centered on four collegians in the summer after 9/11. It focuses less on young love and more on the pain and poetry of self-development, with an emotional edginess that has garnered it comparisons to countercultural films of the sixties like The Graduate.

Hughes lives in Cambridge, Minnesota.
