The story of a small town boy suffering the double disadvantage of being too handsome and far too intelligent.He is abused, bullied and neglected, diagnosed as autistic, until Wally, a funny, eccentric old man with a speech impediment gives him a lift home after school, and changes his life.Uncompromising in its eroticism and violence against a background clash of rural parochialism, the reader is left wondering how it can be possible to get talented and intelligent students through school without tearing them apart as human beings.
