Roughhouse Full Description

This novel in short vignettes gives a harrowing, deadpan account of the tedium, casual violence and deviant sex of a rural American childhood. Told from the point of view of a troubled young man, the narrative mimics his traumatized perception of the world. His flashes of childhood memories are haunted by images of a shotgun-toting father, siblings rendered almost mute from the trauma of excessive environmental bleakness, and a mother whose invocation of half-remembered Chinese homilies breeds its own brand of inarticulation. And then there`s the narrator himself, who responds to the torment of bullying neighborhood kids with increasingly abberant behavior including bondage and pyromania. In spare, unrelenting prose that has been deftly honed, Rutowski ferrets out the hard bone of absurdity and humor at the heart of emotional displacement. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
