Award-winning novelist Larry Brown's first work of nonfiction looks back at the life he left--that of full-time firefighter. "A wonderful book."--John Grisham "Larry Brown is never romantic about danger and . . . in this book he goes through his life with the same meticulous attention with which Thoreau circled the woods around Walden Pond."--The New York Times Book Review. A BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH -CLUB selection.

This is an agonizing book and cannot be read without a sense of shame and horror. The quiet tone and sober manner of its presentation serve only to point up the grotesque data it contains. Public schools, in a kind of negative collusion with the services of social welfare, mental health, and city administration, are holding many thousands of young children in a state of educational oblivion. Spanish-speaking youngsters, retarded children, disturbed children, and pregnant girls all find themselves thrown together in a kind of criminal limbo, defined by error and frozen by ineptitude. " (from Jonathan Kozol's blurb on rear jacket panel).
