Product Description
"We're not even allowed to talk about the truth, really...." So opens the rambling narrative of The Kingsnake in the Sun. Every generation has its Huckleberry Finn, and its Catcher in the Rye. In Jack Gaines, southern California surfer, we find a protagonist for a new generation to voice its concerns in this coming of age story--the latest in a long and rich literary genre of first-person narratives. Interweaving the mundane and the profound, the narrator explores the multiple tracks of youth journeying to find itself.

Customer Reviews
"Taking your own advice is the hardest thing to do in life."
At the risk of echoing the book's official description:
The Kingsnake in the Sun is a postmodern coming-of-age story written in a colloquial prose that at first bothered me, but then came to make the story real, relatable, and down-to-earth.
