American Lit from @copcoat is nearly perfect. I've had a lot of PDFs pass through my inbox from authors and this is easily in the top 10. Maybe in the top 100 of books I've read, period. Elegant and unrelenting, beautiful and visceral. More people need to read this.

Chauncey skipped five grades. When he took his seat in English 9 with Mrs. Sotomayor he looked like a mushroom in an arboretum. He was very quiet, only answering when called on directly and sheepish in groupwork, but he paid attention every second. At the end of one class he overheard an older girl say smoke in a low voice. Another day he saw an older boy put his hand down his pants, which choreography not even the boy noticed.

New episode with Bob Schofield where we talk about what he's been doing, why he left Indie Lit, and why he's decided to return. All that, and his book, The Inevitable June.
Run it up!

Thank you for sharing this, @truhtnac. It means a lot to me 🩷 I reread the end when I want to feel a little something. I bet I’m not supposed to admit that. True though.

"Of course the young protagonist wants there to be some grand ideal of love, but part of growing up is realizing that the hum-drum practicality of daily reality must often superseded the flame-fueled fantasies of idealistic young love."
Best review of my novel.

i sense @truhtnac is a bit of a trendsetter
Next on the pile, American Lit by @copcoat, inspired by this review by @jrostopovich
(I totally agree with her take on American Thighs too.)
