National Book Award-winning author Pete Dexter excels at writing eccentric characters and comical, yet touching, prose. In Spooner, Dexter weaves the tale of Warren Spooner, a troubled boy whose
father dies shortly after he's born. When his mother marries Calmer Ottosson, a decorated Navy officer fallen from grace, Warren is saved by Calmer's inexhaustible patience. As Warren grows up, the
two men forge a bond that will carry them both through the hard times ahead.

Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Genuinely touching…Dexter’s journalistic eye for
tellingly instructive detail, particularly as it evokes character, still is
second to none.” —Los Angeles Times
“The novel’s premise—that life is one big vale of tears and that writing about it wittily and exuberantly is the best one can do…pays off in spades for Dexter and his tragically conflicted alter ego.”
—Publishers Weekly
