In this tender, comic novel, Larry Boosinger, graduate student, writer, garage attendant, escaped convict (and perhaps a person), has one foot in late adolescence while he searches frantically for a place to put the other. Beset by illusions, attracted by paradoxes, Larry carries on his allegorical fistfight with life. He operates in a movie-created world where attempts are made at perfection. Enamored of the romantic ideals of old movies, popular songs, and his own personal hero, F. Scott Fitzgerald, he seeks experience that will match his expectations.Carlson, Ron is the author of 'Betrayed by F. Scott Fitzgerald' with ISBN 9780393301687 and ISBN 0393301680.
