Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. At once an offbeat love story, a moving portrait of a family in crisis, and a darkly funny American comedy, Kyle Beachys arresting debut novelwritten in prose that is swift, stunning, and sweetheralds the arrival of a remarkable new voice in fiction.Potter Mays retreats immediately after college graduation to the safe house of his childhood home. Like clockwork each morning, his mother makes him eggs, lovingly fried into hollowed-out pieces of toast. His father, in the midst of a campaign to revitalize downtown St. Louis, promises to poke around for gainful employment for his son. Potters best friend, Stuartan Independent Thought Contractor working out of his parents lavish pool houseis willing to serve as a kind of life coach, provided, of course, that Potter pays for his services all summer. However.Altogether elsewhere, Potters (former? future?) girlfriend, Audrey, is backpacking around Europe with her beautiful bisexual traveling companion, Carmel. Potter was not invited, and getting a good nights sleep has recently become an issue for him. As enigmatic packages arrive from Audrey, the refuge of life at home soon proves illusory. Potters parents are oddly never in the same room together, the neighbor girl is looking quite adult, and Stuarts much-needed counseling service is subcontracted to a third-party denizen of the pool house with an agenda all his own. And just what are those noises coming from the attic?Kyle Beachy has woven a uniquely affecting story of the long and hard, then quick and hard, struggle to grow up. Beachy has written a knockout first novel. Part love letter to the American Midwest, part ghost story, and part heartbreaking tale of one young man's struggle to find forgiveness as well as himself, this is a book that you won't want to miss.--Cristina Henrquez, author of "Come Together, Fall Apart."
