A Under Appreciated Work of Genius

This is one of my favorite books (alongside from Winterson's The Passion, Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, Robbin's Jitterbug Perfume, Suskind's Perfume, Morrison's Beloved, and Walker's Color Purple). A coming of age story that readsa like memoir and is laced with the realism of Catcher In the Rye or Tobias Wolff and Frank Conroy's tales of growing up and facing an adult reality which is both menacing, haunting, and beautiful. Bravo!

Waiting for More Guernsey

I can't wait to read more from this guy. I hope he's got another book coming soon.
