Popis:

As an infant, Jon Mosher tragically lost his older brother to a freak accident - something that could have happened to any family. There`s nothing he could have done to prevent it, but there it is anyway, that loss echoing in every room and painted on the faces of his parents - German Jews who`d escaped the war - as if to say: you weren`t, and aren`t, enough. Saddled with this absence, Jon`s life has been defined by what`s missing and what he lacks; that is, until in high school he befriends wisecracking Ray, a reckless boy with a volatile father. Against the backdrop of the Summer of Love and the encroaching Vietnam War, Jon dreams of ultimately leaving his grey, blue-collar town, but is set on an irrevocable course as the escalating violence of Ray`s home life threatens to shatter their bright-eyed plans to escape. Torn between obligation and desire, Jon`s faced with the impossible decision of whether to help, or run. In this magnificent, haunting novel, Slouka brilliantly captures the polarising forces of a working class, hardscrabble ethos and the hopeful vibrancy of the sixties and early seventies. With concise, wise prose, Slouka weaves together a tapestry of family, fate, friendship, and the impossibility of ever, really, leaving home.
