My Life As A Rat by Joyce Carol Oates
A raw, unsparing first-person coming-of-age account of a sensitive, marginalized boy growing up in a decaying industrial town, who endures family violence, school bullying and sexual exploitation while struggling to make sense of himself and survive; told with bleak humor and brutal honesty, the narrative probes class, masculinity, cruelty and the painful formation of identity amid social neglect.
