In this beautifully imaginative collection, young people
attempt to negotiate the often surreal terrain of childhood
and adolescence where family, friends, clergy, and teachers
often pose a threat instead of providing safe harbor. At the
heart of the collection is the relationship between the meek
narrator, his best friend alpha-male Clip, and the
near-feral Roger—but there are also agoraphobic mothers,
gorgeous babysitters from New Zealand, paranoid stoned
veterans, and deeply sad older sisters. Ennis has crafted modern-day captivity narratives, set not
at some remote fort, but in the neighborhoods of
Philadelphia. Using cinematic imagery and deft
characterization, Ennis explores how we often feel confined
and yet find ourselves in places we least expect.
