This book is a series of short stories about the early life and adventures of a young man as he leaves his rural home for the first time to find his way in the city. At the heart of these stories is Paul Rodman's journey towards adulthood, and the author explores his hopes, fears, and relationships with a gentle wit and nuanced understanding. The author paints a vivid picture of the social landscape of Louisville, Kentucky at the turn of the 20th century, with its complex social structures and class divisions. Through Paul's eyes, we see the lives of those who live on the margins of society as well as those who dwell within its more established circles, and we see those who struggle to make their way in life as well as those who have already achieved success. Running through all these stories is the author's deep appreciation of the human condition, and a keen eye for the absurdity and beauty of everyday life.
