But while Lydia drinks and talks to the moose head on the wall, Sam finds a friend in local girl Maurey Pierce. One of the wildest, raunchiest, most heartfelt coming-of-age novels of the past 30 years, Skipped Parts put Tim Sandlin in the upper echelon of contemporary comic novelists. Called somewhere between The Catcher in the Rye and Even Cowgirls Get the BluesA" by the Los Angeles Times, this New York Times Notable Book will capture a new generation of readers with its wit and soul.
Tim Sandlin has published eight novels. Two of his screenplays have been made into movies. He turned forty with no phone, TV, or flush toilet and spent more time talking to the characters in his head than the people around him. He now has seven phone lines, four TVs he doesn't watch, three flush toilets, and a two-headed shower. He lives happily (indoors) with his family in Jackson, Wyoming.
