In this memoir the author explores just how it was he came to relish the lies, the prevarications that enabled him to endure the tough life of growing up in deep East Texas a bookish boy feeling out of place. He unflinchingly looks at adolescent attitudes about social status, education, sex, and how they shaped his future life as a novelist.
