Book description
Oddball, accident-prone Warren Spooner doesn't so much get along
with life as crash into it head-on. Through the awkward scrapes of his
childhood, to a violent and troubled adulthood, the young man is
nothing if not resilient, standing up to adversity in his own dark
(often extremely dark) ways. Hilarious and heartbreaking, US National
Book Award-winner Pete Dexter's autobiographical magnum opus is
nothing short of a tragicomic tour de force.
