Nuts, Bolts, and Monster WorshipAuthor House, 2004. 1. 14. - 184페이지 A child discovers a deity in Godzilla. After being involved in a horrific family tragedy, a teenage girl avoids suicide by taking long walks with her little brother. A young Marine goes to war with his identity. A teacher with bouts of depression suspects cheating from a talented adolescent whose hormones cripple his ability to prove his innocence. A sixteen year old goes on an acid trip and unknowingly sets a farmers field on fire that threatens a neighbors home on the other side. Like a student taking a pop quiz on a subject he never received a handout for, these characters and others in the six stories that make up this book, find themselves faking the answers to a life they came unprepared for. |
