Description:
|
|
Vince Vawter's PAPERBOY is the story of a boy with a debilitating stutter forced to find ways to communicate against a backdrop of racial bigotry in the summer of 1959 in Memphis. When the 13-year-old stutterer, who can't say his own name, takes over his best friend's newspaper route for a month, he encounters a fleet of life-spinning characters: an alcoholic housewife who attempts to seduce him, a junkman who steals from him, and a kindly Merchant Marine who seems to have all the answers to the boy's unending questions. Accompanying him on his month-long journey is his protector Mam, the family's black housekeeper, who saves the boy from being murdered in the book's climax.
