Story Of Fartin

[kellychaos]

This a novel about a boy's journey of discovery into undeveloped manhood. As we delve deeper into the twisted tale of a childhood filled with laughs, tears and turkey baster abuse ... we begin to understand why the protagonist eventually spiraled down into a life of pedophilia and abuse. We peek around the curtain of family dysfunctionalism and peak in the window at painful visions of his mother's infidelity heretofore only witnessed by Fartin himself ... the Terminix guy? One of the more poignant moments of the novel is when Fartin is in Walmart buying some white tank-top t-shirts. His lucid description of how the moment was so surreal yet, at the same, was a moment of total self-awareness and clarity was just ... well ... zen-like. I recommend this novel highly. I will not be suprised to see it on Oprah's Book List by early fall.
