Doing things by the book acquires a whole new meaning in Brandon R. Schrands memoir of coming of age in spite of himself. The works cited are those books that serve as Schrands signposts as he goes from life as a hormonecrazed, heavymetal wannabe in the remotest parts of workingclass Idaho to a reasonable facsimile of manhood (with a stop along the way to buy a fivedollar mustardcolored M. C. Hammer suit, so hell fit in at college). The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn informs his adolescent angst over the perceived injustice of societys refusal to openly discuss boners. The Great Gatsby serves as a metaphor for his indulgent and directionless college days spent in a drunken stupor (when he wasnt feigning interest in Mormonism to attract women). William Kittredges Hole in the Sky parallels his own dangerous adulthood slide into alcoholism and denial.With a finely calibrated wit, a good dose of humility, and a strong supporting cast of literary characters, Schrand manages to chart his own storyabout a dreamer thrown out of school as many times as hes thrown into jailuntil he finally sticks his landing.
