Description

"In seven stories capped by a novella, The Lives of Kelvin Fletcher probes the heart and mind of a young man striving for self-discovery amid circumstances by turns hilarious and poignant. Opening with Kelvin at age ten in his small southern hometown, the collection follows him through school, home, church, and ultimately across the threshold of adulthood in revolution-torn Central America. Each successive experience leaves Kelvin with a newer, if not always clearer, outlook on life's essentials: death, love, faith, and friendship." "Whether seen through a ship's porthole, a stained glass window, or a peephole in the wall of a school locker room, the world is as wonderful and perplexing a place to Kelvin as it is to all of us."--BOOK JACKET.
