SUMMARY:Whiteboy with Clay Blancett
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Book People welcomes Clay Blancett\, author of White
 boy. In Harlem\, 1976\, Sadie Mae Robinson arrives home with a black eye a
 fter yet another fight with her boyfriend to an expulsion letter from Colu
 mbia. As if having her mother tell her to come back home to Watts didn’t
  give her enough reason\, discovering the trunk of her Oldsmobile Toronado
  full of stashed contraband gets her on the road\, fast. On the way out of
  town\, she picks up a passenger when Kit Maynard stumbles into traffic an
 d onto the hood of her car. He’s good for gas money\, rolling joints and
  reciting Walt Whitman\, but when his more serious substances run out half
 way across Pennsylvania\, Sadie Mae to decide what to do about her Whitebo
 y. Drinking\, motorcycles\, trains\, and mountains of love\, all these thi
 ngs crash together in Clay Blancett’s novel Whiteboy. Our protagonist\, 
 “fired-again” alcoholic Kit\, manages to destroy his life as quickly a
 s he hopes to save it. When he stumbles upon Toronado-owning Sadie who’s
  just suffered a heart-rendering break\, they pair up on a cross-country j
 ourney through the Midwest and Rockies on roads of forgotten farms and mou
 ntain cliff churches. However\, this seemingly familiar storyline fracture
 s\, as Kit goes his own way\, meandering into his uncle’s Oakland bike r
 epair shop. Sadie returns to family in Watts to reassess her passions and 
 priorities. Will this pair reconnect?
