Set in Savannah, Georgia, in the early 1970s, this is a novel of the anarchic joy of youth and the trials of early adulthood.
Francis Doyle, Tim Sullivan, and their three closest friends are altar boys, eighth-grade classmates, and inveterate pranksters at Blessed Heart Catholic Church and parish school. When 'Sodom vs Gomorrah 74', their collaborative comic book depicting Blessed Heart's nuns and priests gleefully breaking the seventh commandment, falls into the hands of the principal, the boys conspire to create an audacious diversion.
Woven into the details of their preparations for the stunt are touching, hilarious renderings of the school-day routine and the initiatory rites of male adolescence, from the first serious kiss to the first serious hangover.
