The Bastard Year - Paperback
Description
by Richard Lee Zuras (Author)
"It was exactly one year ago today," my father said, "that the hostages were taken." He looked at me as if he wanted me to say something. I figured he was probably wrong about it being a year to the day, but I wasn't about to tell him that. "A year is a long time," he said. "A lot can happen in a year." In the company of classic coming-of-age works, Richard Zuras's debut novel tells the story of a boy's final year of childhood and a family's near disintegration. When Zain's father is fired from the CIA in March of 1980, it creates a tremor that threatens to upend the family's precarious balance. Zain's awakening to a world riddled with cracks and his adolescent attempts to mend them are the stuff from which young men, and great stories, are made.
