This story is told from the point of a little boy, and though the narrative tends to be more mature than a little boy's narrative should be, the book is still engrossing. I loved the characters and how the end just jumped around from realistic fiction to something closer to a type of postmodernism. Great book and a quick, easy read.

From the award-winning author of The Boy Detective Fails: A novel of two brothers growing up on the other side of the tracks. "A trailer park in the Plains town of Tenderloin is the setting of this crusty coming-of-age debut, which features some of the liveliest characters just this side of believable that one is apt to meet in a contemporary novel. The first-person narrator is a moral but susceptible eleven-year-old called Dough, who lusts after his fifth-grade teacher and idolizes his trouble-making older brother, Pill-Bug. The boys, who are new to the town and shamed by the stigma of living in a trailer, were named by a father who wanted them to remain tough and who ended up dying while smuggling cigarettes along a Texas highway. Their mother and her new boyfriend, French, are low-life swingers, allowing the siblings to spend nights with Val, who entertains a slew of men but whom Dough worships as a virginal Madonna. Dough's own adoring friend is Lottie, a slightly deranged girl who offers Dough a gift of one of her taxidermist father's specimens; meanwhile, Pill-Bug earns a special affection from Lunna, a high school floozy. Each character is vividly described . . . Meno's passionate new voice makes him a writer to watch." --Publishers Weekly Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
