Preview: Hear it

I am not so bad a person once you get to know me. When Iggy Corso gets kicked out of high school, theres no one for him to tell. His mother has gone off, his father is stoned on the couch, and the phones been disconnected, so even the social worker cant get through. Leaving his public housing behind, Iggy ventures into the world to make something of his life. Its not easy when youre sixteen, have no skills, and your only friend is mixed up with the dealer who got your mom hooked. But Iggy is . . . Iggy, and he has the kind of wisdom that lets him see what no one else can. K. L. Goings third novel is a haunting achievement about a young mans tragic search for meaning in a world that to him makes no sense.
