A Conversation with author MARK SLOUKA

For the first 16 years of his life, Jon does his best to blend into the bleak landscape. He works in his father’s shoe store. He eats lunch alone. Then two things happen that change his life: his history teacher asks him to join the track team, and he meets Ray. From the NY Times review of Brewster by Mark Slouka
