Best-selling author Theodore Weesner (The Car Thief) unleashes his first novel in eight years: Carrying that symbolizes both the knife hidden in the boot of a military recruit, and the burden of history. With unapologetic candor Weesner navigates literary cherry bombs surrounding the subject of evolving race and class relations in America today. With exquisite aptitude, a mentorship between blue collar Professor Herman Roth and his Southie protege Jimmy Murphy reveals a universal human conflict, that of personal-best versus the other. Set in New England and overseas military zones, the narrative alternates between the quotidian of Professor Roth's existence and hope for love, and Murphy's letters chronicling keen observations during his life in the military. Once again, Weesner's resonant prose detonates a mine field to transcend archaic stereotypes and blaze fresh trails for humankind.
