Beschreibung

Finalist for the National Book Award: A witty novel of coming of age during wartime in AmericaIn the words of its ';author,' Samuel Heather, the Confession is a ';comical historical pastoral' that chronicles the struggles of growing up the son of a Midwestern bishop. (';My father's daily work was to be a father. It was excruciating.') Samuel escapes Missouri to attend Harvard, where he gets himself expelled for exploding a footbridge over the Charles River. He is soon sent to fight in Korea and lands in a prison camp. Samuel's picaresque coming of ageby turns both funny and poignantis truly the tale of ';a child of the century.'
