From Norvelt to Nowhere

278 pp. | Farrar | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-37994-0 $16.99
(2) 4-6 Drawing imagery from Moby-Dick, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Frankenstein, Gantos employs gothic humor, scene-crafting mastery, and his Dead End in Norvelt protagonist Jack's querulous voice to offer a wild and challenging road-trip novel, murder mystery, meditation on American history, and love story all in one. The tale has as many twists and turns as those Tennessee back roads.
