(3) YA Sordid doesn't begin to describe this novel of four runaway outcasts. There's charismatic (and pyromaniacal) Boobie, who has taken his baby brother to sell. Along for the ride are young prostitute and addict Curl and throwaway boy Custis. Custis's narration of their rural travels is a stream of obscenity, but his vulnerability is also in evidence. The novel's happy ending (for Custis, anyway) isn't exactly earned, but it certainly is welcome.
