The ambiguity and paradox of adolescent relationships
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
A brilliant short story of the ambiguity and paradox of adolescent relationships. Although ostensibly describing a situation as mundane as two boys consumed in a mindless game of catch when a third, gloveless boy appears, the depth of character of all three boys is richly and adeptly developed . Charater motivation is as complex and confusing to each of the three boys portrayed as it is for the reader. This brief story displays powerful insight into human behavior in breathtakingly few words
