Young Lonigan | James T. Farrell

2 posts | 5 read | 3 to read

An American classic in the vein of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, the first book of James T. Farrell's powerful Studs Lonigan trilogy covers five months of the young hero's life in 1916, when he is sixteen years old. In this relentlessly naturalistic yet richly complex portrait, Studs is carried along by his swaggering and shortsighted companions, his narrow family, and his educational and religious background toward a fate that he resists yet cannot escape.

A brief character study of 14 year old William “Studs” Lonigan. He‘s a sensitive boy but he‘s also horny and idolizes toughness and roughness. After graduating from elementary school in the summer, he begins hanging around with a rougher crowd of boys than his previous classmates. Where will he go next? I‘m about to find out in the sequel.
