1. 1. The Car Thief

   

   A raw coming-of-age portrait of a lonely, angry teenage boy in a struggling Midwestern town who drifts into petty crime and car theft after time in reform school; through episodic episodes of friendship, furtive relationships, clashes with authority, and brief attempts at work, the narrative exposes his emotional isolation, poverty, and search for identity in a harsh, unsentimental landscape.
