Opis

Lee Maynard, a native of Crum (Wayne County), West Virginia, spins a sometimes shocking, often outrageous, always irreverent tale of his young protagonist's rebellion against the place he's from and the people he grew up with. Part Huckleberry Finn and part The Red and the Black, Maynard's novel Crum is a touching and humorous look at small-town life and the peculiar rituals of male adolescence. Ultimately, though, Crum is not about the town of Crum itself but about rejecting the comfort and familiarity of home and finding a place in the larger world.
