This novel of a troubled life lived on the fringes of a college campus casts a lingering spell (The New York Times). A feral boy comes of age on a campus decadent with starched sheets, sweating cocktails, and homemade jams. Stub is the cause of that missing sweater, the pie that disappeared off the cooling rack. Then Stub meets Billy, who takes him in, and Asthma, who enchants him, and all is found, then lost. From one of the most interesting American writers around (The Nation), this is a fragrant, voluptuous novel of imposture, misplaced affection, and emotional deformity. Anchors its charming caprice, philosophical fancy, and thriller-like pace to the psychological horror that lurks just beyond childhood innocence. -Publishers Weekly Vivid imagery, beautiful language, heartbreaking characters, and the striking perspective of an emotionally stunted man in a carefully controlled society…unique and captivating. -Booklist Brimming with lyrical descriptions of the campus and with ornamental characters representing various academic 'types,' Brightfellow is both a portrait of small town American campus life and of the peculiarities of childhood. -Manhattan Book Review
