About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Scribner, 2017. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. The three of them - a 12-year-old boy, his older brother, their father - have won the war: the father's term for his bitter divorce and custody battle. They leave their Kansas home and drive through the night to Albuquerque, eager to begin again, united by the thrilling possibility of carving out a new life together. The boys go to school, join basketball teams, make friends. Meanwhile their father works from home, smoking cheap cigars to hide another smell. But soon the little missteps - the dead-eyed absentmindedness, the late-night noises, the comings and goings of increasingly odd characters - become sinister, and the boys find themselves watching their father change, grow erratic, then violent. Set in the sublimely stark landscape of suburban New Mexico and a cramped apartment shut tight to the world, ONE OF THE BOYS conveys with stunning prose and chilling clarity a young boy's struggle to hold on to the dangerous pieces of his shattered family. Harrowing and beautiful, Daniel Magariel's masterful debut is a story of survival: two foxhole-weary brothers banding together to protect each other from the father they once trusted but no longer recognize. With the emotional core of A LITTLE LIFE and the compact power of WE THE ANIMALS, ONE OF THE BOYS is among the most moving and remarkable debut novels you'll ever experience. New, unread,pristine first edition, first printing, in new, mylar-protected dust cover. [Not remainder-marred or price-clipped] L14seven
