--THIS EVENT CANCELLED!-- From McSweeney's, and from the deft hand of author John Brandon, he of the wonderful Arkansas debut, comes a terrific new novel about teenage romance in a small Florida town. It's more interesting—and funnier—than one might think. Citrus County (McSweeney's Rectangulars) is the book that tells how a certain young man named Toby, and a certain young woman named Shelby try, try, try to make it happen. "Citrus County is a real charmer ... The book makes you laugh even as it breaks your heart. It may be, among other things, one of the best books about junior high ever written." - Dan Chaon. "Pursues relentlessly what each of us might find daily in a Florida town ... The purity of thought and of unadorned line are remarkable." - [The late, great] Barry Hannah.
