Description
At Payton LivingCenter, Todd Aaron has found a sense of belonging as one of the oldest residents. Now in his fifties, he's a man who finds joy in re-reading the encyclopedia compulsively.
However, his equilibrium is disrupted by the arrival of a new staffer and a brain-injured roommate, forcing him to confront challenges that test his sense of self. As he navigates these pressures, Todd begins to question his reliance on medication and seeks a way back to a childhood that now feels like a distant memory.
Written in the first-person voice of an autistic adult man, Best Boy is a poignant and humorous novel about finding one's place in the world and holding onto memories that sustain us. With its unforgettable portraits of Todd's mother and others, this book is a powerful exploration of identity, community, and what it means to be human.
