Description
This incandescent debut novel plunges into the heart of a fractured, working-class family through the eyes of its youngest son. It's a raw and lyrical exploration of love, violence, and the fierce bonds of brotherhood, set against the backdrop of a decaying urban landscape. As the narrator navigates his tumultuous childhood, he grapples with the complexities of identity, desire, and the inevitable pull towards self-discovery, all while trying to make sense of the world his parents have created. Justin Torres masterfully captures the intensity of youthful experience, weaving a narrative that is both intimate and expansive, ultimately questioning what it means to belong and to break free.
