Avery Colt Is a Snake, a Thief, a Liar

"Among my favorite creative nonfiction memoirs is Frank McCourt鈥檚 Angela鈥檚 Ashes, a book that captures the Depression and World War II eras from a poor Irish child鈥檚 perspective in a way that keeps flipping the emotional switches between pathos, horror, and laugh-out-loud humor. I had the same reaction to the stories in "Avery Colt is a Snake, A Thief, A Liar". Just as McCourt so successfully captured the unique voice and the internal feelings of the narrator and the way he observed the children and adult characters that cycled in and out of his life, Avery Colt鈥檚 narrative voice does the same thing, but this time from a poor Black kid鈥檚 experiences in North St. 直播自慰视频.
