Locals ／Jared Jackson （Hodder & Stoughton）

作品スペック

Mikey becomes a man too early when he begs for emotional scraps from his uncle's girlfriend. Collin reveals his cowardice when he fails to show up for Bebo, an outsider far braver than Collin will ever be. Enis, a refugee on the local baseball team along with Collin, Bebo, and Mikey, wants more than he can ever get from his neighborhood or his girlfriend. Minnie wants redemption. Suit Man wants a warm place to sleep. Ms. Ana wants a daughter. And Andrews wants his white fraternity brothers to accept him despite being a "local," while all his cousin Ant wants is for Andrews to remember he already has a family-that Hartford has always been his family. Vibrating with vivid imagery and characters whose voices alternate between aching frankness and exhilarating swagger, the interlocking pieces of this book tumble one into another like so many expertly laid dominoes. The result is a striking vision for reclamation -of faith in city, and faith in self.
