Described as "one of the better coming-of-age novels of the twentieth hundred years," Theodore Weesner's modern American old classic is currently on audio tracks! It's 1959. Sixteen-year-old Alex Housman has just stolen his 14th car and frankly doesn't know why. His divorced, working-class father grinds out the night shift at the local Chevy seed in Detroit and looks onward to the flask in his glove area and the open up containers of booze in his Flint, Michigan, home. Broke and struggling to survive, Alex and his father face the realities of estrangement, incarceration, and even assault as their lives unfold toward the climactic tv show a New York Times reviewer called "one of the very most profoundly powerful in American fiction." In this particular rich, beautifully crafted history, Weesner has written a transcendent little bit of literature in deceptively simple terms, painting a robust portrait of an father and a boy otherwise invisible one of the mundane, everyday information on life in blue-collar America. It is a true and enduring American classic.
