At the heart of the collection is the relationship between the meek narrator, his best friend alpha-male Clip, and the near-feral Roger--but there are also agoraphobic mothers, gorgeous babysitters from New Zealand, paranoid stoned veterans, and deeply sad older sisters.Ennis has crafted modern day captivity narratives, set not at some remote fort, but in the neighborhoods of Philadelphia. Using cinematic imagery and deft characterization, Ennis explores how we often feel confined and yet, find ourselves in places we least expect. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826093532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC2E1B7CF70511E582760BA0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
