Title: I Refuse
Comments:
Per Petterson sits down with his map of Tommy's & Jim's lives and points out this—see this—this crucial moment. Was it the one that sent Jim off one edge of that thin, thin line of coping with life or not? And what about Tommy? And why? If you have ever been left contemplating the suicidal death of a good friend this book is an honest companion, if not a comfortable one.

“Readers will find that they're in the hands of a master whose quiet, unforgettable voice leaves you yearning to hear more.” —The Boston Globe on Per Petterson
