Description
A riveting and emotionally harrowing debut about two young brothers and their physically and psychologically abusive fatherÑOne of the Boys is 176 perfect, stunning pages by a major new talent.
The three of themÑa twelve-year-old boy, his older brother, their fatherÑhave won the war: the fatherÕs term for his bitter divorce and custody battle. They leave their Kansas home and drive through the night to Albuquerque, eager to begin again, united by the thrilling possibility of carving out a new life together. The boys go to school, join basketball teams, make friends. Meanwhile their father works from home, smoking cheap cigars to hide another smell. But soon the little misstepsÑthe dead-eyed absentmindedness, the late night noises, the comings and goings of increasingly odd charactersÑbecome sinister, and the boys find themselves watching their father change, grow erratic, then violent.
