Moab Is My Washpot

A memoir that tells how, sent to a boarding school 200 miles from home at the age of seven, the author survived beatings, misery, love, ecstasy, carnal violation, expulsion, imprisonment, criminal conviction, probation and catastrophe to emerge, at eighteen, ready to try and face the world in which he had always felt a stranger.

O carte de memorii care povesteste cum, trimis la un internat la 320 de kilometri de casa la varsta de sapte ani, autorul a supravietuit batailor, mizeriei, iubirii, extazului, violurilor carnale, exmatricularii, inchisorii, condamnarii penale, eliberarii conditionate si catastrofei, pentru a iesi, la optsprezece ani, gata sa incerce sa infrunte lumea in care se simtise intotdeauna un strain.
