A coming of age novel with a real twist. The cover quote from the New York Times sums it up well: "Part Tristram Shandy, part Ishmael, part Holden Caulfield, Cal is a wonderfully engaging narrator...A deeply affecting portrait of one family's tumultuous engagement with the American twentieth century." The novel won the Pulitzer Prize.
