“Garth Stein has exposed a sadness and a strength in Evan, a self-appointed screw-up who endeavors to raise a 14-year-old son he’s just met. A raw but sympathetic portrayal of family flaws and individual shortcomings, How Evan Broke His Head and Other Secrets is a beautifully un-shiny novel of passion, forgiveness and the life force that is fatherhood.”
—NWBL contributing editor Brian Juenemann, the official Pacific Northwest Book Award blurb, 2005.
Soho Press has just released the 10th anniversary edition of Evan, and you can buy it from Garth Stein’s local, Queen Anne Book Co. or your neighborhood indie.
