A sad story of a young man's quest for friends and religious fulfillment. Betrayal, catharsis, awakening. One of my favorite books of all time. (My daughter drew the cover for me bc she knows how much I love this book!). If you've ever acted out of character to seek acceptance by the cool kids, this book is for you. #recommendsday

My favorite part of Tin House is the "Lost and Found" column that reviews forgotten books, like Fanny Howe's 1980 "Indivisible" or this "forgotten minor classic" from 1890 that I can probably find online for free or cheap.

amyrabbitt I read The Damnation of Theron Ware in college years ago and loved it. I've had it out to re-read for years and keep putting it off. 8y
