In this incisive dissection of the author's hometown, James Boice scratches its shiny suburban surface to reveal a place formed from \"a cloud that slid west and met with the humidity and spent buckshot cartridges and Civil War bones clad in blue and gray to create concrete and vinyl siding and front yards laid in chunks, child care centers and video rental places.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An exciting new voice in fiction, James Boice blends sharp social observations with dark humor and remarkable prose.
