Eye of a Fly

By Justin R. Smith

Short description: Raised by slum-dwelling alcoholics, an autistic teen struggles to complete college and woo a handicapped girl-with bittersweet results.

Longer description: Eye of a Fly is a novel of tragedy and redemption with a cast of characters that includes: Ernest Wentworth, a profoundly introverted boy who inhabits a world of mathematics and music. Tiffany, his innocent younger sister whose friends practice voodoo. Warren, Ernest's talented but learning-disabled younger brother whose suicide triggers the novel's finale. Harry, Ernest's father. A former Hollywood screen writer, he has always dreamed of drinking hard, seeing the world, and writing like Hemingway-but only succeeded at the first. Annie, a handicapped but radiant girl who draws Ernest out of his shell.
