I'll Be Here for You

By Robert McKean

Book Overview

Fiction. Winner of the Tartt First Fiction Award Set in the hardscrabble Western Pennsylvania mill town of Ganaego, the interconnected stories in I'LL BE HERE FOR YOU: DIARY OF A TOWN present an ethnic and generational stew of lives and passions. We meet Tody Wolding, director of Ganaego's ragtag thespian troupe and a crossdresser in a conservative community; Julie Namar, who borrows enough cash to keep her flagging dance studio going-only to give the money away; and Darlene Paczkowski, the librarian who has dreamed all the wrong dreams and met all the wrong men, who mourns the death of a desolate child who came to her story hours and never spoke.
