Tourist's Guide to Glengarry (A)

Autor Ian McGillis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2002 – vârsta de la 14 până la 18 ani

This book is a tribute to a real neighbourhood at a special point in time -- working class north Edmonton on the cusp of the oil boom. McGillis has drawn partly on figures from his own late 60s, early 70s childhood, including a maverick substitute teacher with a predilection for Eastern philosophy, a nine-year-old champion of civil rights, a chain-smoking ten-year-old son of anti-war radicals and baseball immortal Roberto Clemente.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

If J.D. Salinger or Mark Twain had lived in Edmonton, they might have written "A Tourist's Guide to Glengarry." Prepare to slip into the mind of a nine-year-old. Prepare for a trip like Huckleberry Finn's, except here it is not a river that is travelled but a single day in the life of little Neil McDonald. Prepare for a story that is simple, deep, psychologically dead-on, minutely observed yet worldly -- and very funny.'
