(1) YA The unnamed seventy-five-year-old narrator, a famous author, agrees to help Karl, a dyslexic eighteen-year-old boy, impress his book-loving girlfriend. While the author helps Karl work through much more than just his dating problems, Karl gives him impetus to write again after his wife's death. Chambers delivers yet another intellectually satisfying novel with equal parts philosophy and repartee.
