(2) YA A half-dozen teenagers in 1979 Goldsburg, Virginia, narrate the story by turns--mostly with prose, some occasionally in poetry--allowing layers of plot and character to develop throughout the nonlinear narrative. Unbeknownst to everybody (but readers): affable seventeen-year-old Christopher Goodman is on a fatal collision course with an emotionally disturbed youth. An afterword reveals that this novel was inspired by actual events in Wolf's adolescence.
