TILT
By: Cumyn, Alan
Stan is an intense sixteen-year-old loner who desperately wants to make the
junior varsity basketball team. And it seems that he may be about to do so,
until he's blindsided by the unexpected attentions of Janine Igwash. Suddenly
Stan is no longer thinking about jump shots. Instead he is obsessed with
Janine's spiky hair, her milky white shoulders and the mysterious little tattoo
at the base of her neck, not to mention the heat of her breath, her dark eyes,
wide hips and . . . Then Stan's father arrives on the scene with Stan's
four-year-old half brother, and things become truly insane.Tilt is a wonderfully
droll and insightful story about a sensitive, intelligent and gently funny young
man living through an impossibly absurd time of life. This book is a rare
achievement ? a witty, sexy compulsively readable work of high literary
quality. TitlePeek
