Description
Based on the author’s research as a psychoanalyst, this novel tells the story of Robert Allen Jones (Bobby), the son of a White mother and Black father, and his unlikely relationship with a pretty runaway named Jenny. Written as a first-person diary, this hard-boiled work provides a poignant glimpse into a serial murderer’s mind as it follow him and teenage charmer Jenny on a road trip from Kansas to the Florida Keys. Jenny falls in love with Bobby and wants to marry him to “make up for what your mom did,” but he has other plans. The novel, filled with oddball adventures, moves inexorably to its tragic ending, with important things to say about love, murder, racial hatred, and American culture.
