Recensione

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR ORDINARY WHITE BOY

"An extraordinary account of what passes as ordinary life in an upstate New York community. Brock Clarke treats small-town controversy with wit and sympathy, and along the way he unravels conventional measures of self-worth. A confident, fierce, and hilarious novel with great emotional richness."
--Joanna Scott, author of Arrogance and Make Believe
"This is a smart, honest, funny, winning book. Extraordinary, really."
--Antonya Nelson, author of Talking in Bed and Nobody's Girl
