Champion of the North american Academy's Rome Award for fiction, The Guy Who Gone Away is Eli Gottlieb's tender, harrowing coming-of-age novel. For Denny Graubert, the chaotic summer time of 1967 - when the screams of napalm bombs on the nightly reports drowned the cheers of the All-Star game - brings the agonizing realization that child years has handed down. While participating in his favorite local spying game, Denny unwittingly discovers the eager measures his mom will take to save his autistic old brother, Fad, who is lost in the diagnostic Deep Ages of autism. In the centre of this novel isn't only the storyplot of Denny's coltish entrance to adolescence but also that of his relationship with Fad, which will be forever changed during the course of that summer time. The Guy Who Gone Away is the cruelly antic, heartrending tale of two childhoods that would, by fall's introduction, be irretrievably lost.
