A Map of Tulsa: A Novel

â€œIf Catcher in the Rye has lost its raw clout for recent generations of Internet-suckled American youth, here is a coming-of-age novel to replace it.â€Â â€”Publishers Weekly (starred review)

The first days of summer: Jim Praley isÂ home from college, ready to unlock Tulsa's secrets. He drives the highways. He forces himself to get out of his car and walk into a bar. He's invited to a party. And there he meets Adrienne Booker; Adrienne rules Tulsa, in her way.Â A high-school dropoutÂ with aÂ penthouse apartment, she takes a curious interest in Jim. Through her eyes, he will rediscover his hometown:Â its wasted sprawl, the beauty of its late nights, and, at the city's center, the unsleeping light of its skyscrapers.

In the tradition of Michael Chabon's The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, A Map of Tulsa is elegiac, graceful, and as much a story about young love as it is a love letter to a classic American city.
