The Tragic Era is a brilliant debut coming-of-age book in regards to a misanthropic son understanding how to love, trust, and truly be alive in an absurd world. This is actually the report of Billy Kinsey, heir to a lottery lot of money, part genius, part philosopher and interpersonal critic, full-time insomniac, and closeted rock and roll drummer. Billy has made the decision that the best way to deal with an absurd world is to stay away from it. Do not volunteer. Usually do not interact. Billy will be the first to let you know it doesn't always work - not whenever your twin sister, Dorie, has passed away; not whenever your unhappy parents are at war with one another; not when frazzled sports moms in two-ton SUVs are more dangerous than atom bombs; and not when your information counselor keeps asking why you haven't applied to college. Billy's life changes when two different people enter in it. Twom Twomey is a charismatic renegade who feels that truly living means going just a little outlaw. Twom and Billy become each other's benefactor and friend. At exactly the same time, Billy is reintroduced to Gretchen Quinn, an old and adored friend of Dorie's. It really is Gretchen who advises to Billy that the world can be changed by creative serves of the heart and soul. With Twom Billy trips the dark side. And with Gretchen Billy encounters possibilities. He has learned that one journey is leading him toward catastrophe and the other toward delight. The issue is Billy doesn't trust delight. It's the years he's at - the tragic years.
