The Last Exit to Normal
MICHAEL HARMON
IT’S TRUE: AFTER 17-year-old Ben’s father announces he’s gay and the
family splits apart, Ben does everything he can to tick him off: skip school,
smoke pot, skateboard nonstop, get arrested. But he never thinks he’ll end
up yanked out of his city life and plunked down into a small Montana town
with his dad and Edward, The Boyfriend. As if it’s not painful enough living
in a hick town with spiked hair, a skateboard habit, and two dads, he soon
realizes something’s not quite right with Billy, the boy next door. He’s
hiding a secret about his family, and Ben is determined to uncover it and
set things right. In an authentic, unaffected, and mordantly funny voice,
Michael Harmon tells the wrenching story of an uprooted and
uncomfortable teenaged guy trying to fix the lives around him—while
figuring out his own.
Michael Harmon is the author of Skate, “a remarkable first novel,” according
to Kirkus Reviews. He lives in Spokane, Washington, where he is at work on his
next novel for Knopf.
