Peter Leroy explores one of his earliest memories, his mother’s tumble from her lawn chair; probes the root causes of his childhood pelecypodophobia (fear of bivalve mollusks, particularly clams); navigates the upper reaches of the Bolotomy River; builds a radio receiver and explores the farthest reaches of the galaxy; ponders the differences between dour foxes and happy clams; falls in love with the girl with the white fur muff; learns the pleasures of skating on ice and taking the long way home; becomes a fan of the Larry Peters Adventure series; and rises to the rank of Aluminum Commodore in the Young Tars. Little Follies contains the novellas My Mother Takes a Tumble, Do Clams Bite?, Life on the Bolotomy, The Static of the Spheres, The Fox and the Clam, The Girl with the White Fur Muff, Take the Long Way Home, Call Me Larry, and The Young Tars, which are also available individually. “It generates its own reality, and it’s profoundly funny.” David Chute, The Los Angeles Times “I envy the lucky souls who are meeting Peter Leroy for the first time.” Armistead Maupin “Tiny and enormous, full of mystery and wonder.” Robert Plunket, The New York Times Book Review “Wonderfully touching and mythic.” John Stark Bellamy II, Cleveland Plain Dealer “Strikingly new.” Walter Kendrick, The Village Voice “The writing is incredibly beautiful.” Lee Grove, Boston Magazine “Wonderfully different from most literary efforts.” Mark Muro, The Boston Globe “Mystery, tragedy, jealousy, love, wisdom, irony, wonder.” James Idema, Chicago Tribune “An ingenious investigation of the way we build our myths.” Julie Salamon, The Wall Street Journal “Clever, anecdotal, suspenseful, and funny.” Anna Shapiro, The New Yorker “A triumph.” Robert Crampton, The Times (London) RECOMMENDED BY THE READER'S CATALOGUE Coming of Age Family Life Genre Fiction Inspiring Funny Fox Mystery
