The protagonist in this tale, Peter Keller, is confronted with the same existential crisis that seems to affect the protagonists in all of Price's eight novels. When "adulthood" appears and a "child" is forced to make a decision about his future, independent of his cultural surroundings, how will he respond?
Price's "children," of course are not the children who watch Sesame Street and play video games. They are gang members, failed writers, single parents, police officers, abused children, and crack dealers.
Peter Keller is a college graduate. His life is supposed to be better. So why is he stuck in Yonkers with his father and his step mother?
