Carson Smith is resigned to spending his summer in Billings, Montana, helping his mom take care of his father, a dying alcoholic he doesn't really know. Then he meets Aisha Stinson, a beautiful girl who has run away from her difficult family, and Pastor John Logan, who's long held a secret regarding Carson's grandfather, who disappeared without warning or explanation thirty years before. Together, Carson and Aisha embark on an epic road trip to find the answers that might save Carson's dad, restore his fragmented family, and discover the "Porcupine of Truth" in all of their lives.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Praise for "The Porcupine of Truth"
"Quirky, hilarious, sad, and ultimately tender. The world could use more tenderness and more books like this one. Words like 'brilliant' are so overused when praising novels -- so I won't use that word. I'll just think it." -- Benjamin Alire Saenz, author of "Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe"
"Bill Konigsberg's "The Porcupine of Truth" is at once heartwarming and heartbreaking, a funny and thought-provoking road trip with remarkable friends Carson and Aisha, who share tough lessons about mending fractures, forging bonds, and discovering grace. Undeniably human and unforgettably wise, this book is a gift for us all." -- Andrew Smith, author of "Grasshopper Jungle" and "100 Sideways Miles"

Praise for "Openly Straight: "
"Konigsberg's lovely novel invites us to walk with Rafe through his season of assumed identity and his costly emergence into honesty. It's beautiful. It's a story of salvation." -- "The New York Times Book Review"
* "Lambda Literary Award-winner Konigsberg has written an exceptionally intelligent, thought-provoking, coming-of-age novel about the labels people apply to us and that we, perversely, apply to ourselves... "Openly Straight" is altogether one of the best gay-themed novels of the last ten years." -- "Booklist," starred review"
