It's the summer before the Summer of Love in the 1960s. A small rural town. Beer, fights, boredom, sex. Kid stuff.
With an unwavering eye, Tom Walmsley captures perfectly the essence of small-town kids up to no good, if only because it is the only thing they can know. Fero-cious and unabating, Kid Stuff is a bittersweet opera about a time and place that is both then and now.
Praise for Tom Walmsley:
"Shades reads like a cross-between Jim Thompson and William Peter Blatty. . . a work of squalid genius."--The Globe & Mail
"Shades is a funny, sexy, and inventive read--a vicious social satire in the tradition of Jonathan Swift and William Burroughs."--Books in Canada
Tom Walmsley won the first Three-Day Novel contest in 1979 with his novel Doctor Tin; its sequel, Shades, which also contained the original novel, was published in 1992. He's also the author of the poetry collections Lexington Hero and Rabies; the plays The Jones Boy, Blood and Something Red; and the screenplay of the film Paris, France. He lives in Toronto.
