Description

Robert Harnum (au). A novel of alienation & youth in a culture bred on casual violence. Philip is popular at high school. A conscientious student & star of the basketball team, he lives in an affluent household & enjoys the latest in electronic marvels. He dates one of the most popular girls in school. Philip lives with a mother he never sees, in a house owned by a man that she now despises, & he talks on the phone to his biological father. He spends a good deal of his time alone, heating an array of packaged dinners in the microwave, studying hard, & then winding down with video games, before studying hard again. He is detached, self-absorbed, disaffected. Philip will soon commit an act of violence, & his trial will polarize the small New England community in which he lives.
