From Publishers WeeklyThe Insolent Boy, the debut novel from Canadian author and filmmaker John Stiles, certainly is aptly titled. It follows the turbulent life of narrator Selwyn Davis from toddlerhood to early middle age. A talented, intelligent but deeply antisocial boy, he is nurtured by adoptive parents in rural Nova Scotia. After a doomed romance, he leaves home and falls in with a rock band that takes him around the world including a stint in a Japanese prison. Though the books second half feels a bit rushed, Selwyn is a memorable (if not exactly lovable) protagonist, and Stiles tells his grimly comic story with wit and heart.Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.Product DescriptionThe eccentric tale of a misfit boy, who suffers through an unusual childhood, travels the world with a rock band and returns to his hometown to discover a dark family secret.About the AuthorJohn Stiles was born in Nova Scotia.
