About this product

Product Information

In 1920s rural Illinois two lonely teenage boys form a tentative friendship. Then violence intrudes into their lives and the relationship between the narrator and Cletus Smith is shattered. It is Cletus s father who has fired the shot that killed the farmer Lloyd Wilson. The narrator never speaks to Cletus again. Some years later he passes him in the corridor of a Chicago high school but does not speak. Fifty years later, haunted by a sense that he failed a fundamental test of friendship, the narrator sets out to reconstruct the events that led to the murder. In doing so, he vividly conjures up two families, two failed marriages and the tragedy that led Clarence Smith to murder his neighbour. William Maxwell s short novel is a perfectly judged and profound meditation on the past and its power to endure in our lives.
