Requirements: MOBI / ePUB reader, 1.2 Mb
Overview: When precocious thirteen-year-old Jed refuses to go to school, his rich, self-absorbed mother, convinced her son is too intelligent and sensitive to succeed in school, solves the problem by hiring a private tutor. The tutor is Hollis Flood—criminal, former hustler, and addict, a fascinating but vaguely sinister man. At first Jed flourishes under Holly’s eccentric but absorbing plan of education, but when Holly decides it’s time for him to move on and Jed insists on tagging along, the world screams "kidnap," and their journey across America becomes an exercise in dodging the authorities.
A complex relationship develops between Holly and Jed—sexual, volatile. devoted—described alternately in Holly’s and Jed’s voices. By journey’s end. Jed not only has learned much about the world, but has experienced love and begun the process of becoming an adult.
The Dream Life is a classic story of a man and a boy taking to the road; it is also a disturbing tale of manipulation and desire. Equal parts black comedy and love story, the novel offers, finally, a hopeful vision of life.
