Ghost Town

About this item

From New York Times bestselling author Tom Perrotta, hailed by critics as "the Steinbeck of Suburbia" ( Time ), "our Balzac of the burbs" ( Chicago Sun-Times ), and "an American Chekhov" ( The New York Times ), comes a gripping and darkly nostalgic tale about a tumultuous summer in 1970s suburban New Jersey, from the perspective of a middle-aged writer looking back on a series of events that changed his life—and the story he finally has the courage to tell.
