Summary
Ten short stories about "boyhood"--About boys who age but can't grow up, about boyhood in the messes adults make. They collect under Hemingway's rueful remark about American men: "It's that some of them stay little boys so long, sometimes all their lives. Their figures stay boyish when they're fifty. The great American boy-men. Damned strange people."--publisher description.
