Jonathan Evison: Lawn Boy
3010-B Juniper Street, San Diego, 92104
Cost: Free
Novelist Jonathan Evison will discuss and sign his new novel, Lawn Boy. For Mike Muñoz, a young Chicano living in Washington State, life has been a whole lot of waiting for something to happen. Not too many years out of high school and still doing menial work - and just fired from his latest gig as a lawn boy on a landscaping crew - he knows that he’s got to be the one to shake things up if he’s ever going to change his life. But how? Lawn Boy is an important, entertaining, and completely winning novel about social class distinctions, about overcoming cultural discrimination, and about standing up for oneself.
