The Wishbones

'Perrotta's novels are sheer pleasure.' San Francisco Chronicle 'An elegant, poignant tale of self-discovery.' Time Out New York 'Unalloyed reading pleasure...most readers will probably end up standing at the footlights, hooting for an encore.' New York TImes Book Review 'What makes this late coming-of-age novel original and fresh is the arch, incisive humor and pop-music riffs that Perrotta adds to an old story...Even the antagonisms are gentle and funny.' Publishers Weekly 'Just like a good rock 'n' roll song, Perrotta's novel is straight-ahead, unpretentious entertainment...Like Nick Hornsby's "High Fidelity", "The Wishbones" is a smart, very funny look at one man's ambivalence toward adulthood and commitment.'
