Larry is a teenager wrestling not only with his sexuality and the
implications of a physical relationship with his younger brother, but
with the very point of his existence. He is numb to almost all that
surrounds him.
As the book opens, Larry has been paid $500 by a senior to kill a fellow
pupil and retrieve the boy's notebook. It seems simple enough. However,
once Larry delves into the notebook, complications arise.
An immensely powerful work that explores teenage depression, moral
vacuity and the confusion of love, My Loose Thread is a claustrophobic
and harrowing piece of fiction.
