A harrowing illustration of civil rights era America. A kind of coming of age story, darkly funny and sometimes absurd. The first chapter was initially published as a stand alone piece and the later tone is slower and somewhat more measured. Better to read with plenty of time, not one for snatched chapters. The author or perhaps central character has a strange indifference to 'the woman problem' which sits oddly with the general premise today. Thought provoking.
