MASON AND SULLY WERE BOTH at the house when the MacDonalds arrived. They all stood in the foyer which, Mason noted, was not like the foyers in Addison’s neighborhood, but a great hall with parquet wood floors, portraits of dead family members looking down and the light of mid June shining through a long skylight. “Aunt Ruth, Uncle John, glad to see you.

Thanks. There's a lot of insight there. I think with Tommy, especially now that Sully is so close to him, he's really becoming bigger than his religion, and I don't want to give too much away, but Tommy's evolution is going to be a pretty big part of Wild Life. How to be faithful without being gullible is really going to be Tommy's struggle as he grows in his senior year.

They sat on the porch steps side by side saying nothing and then suddenly, they could hear, “ “Oh, God! Oh, shit! Shit! Shit! Philip!” Sully turned around for just a brief second. He wished that Tommy wasn’t his friend so that he could just sit here and watch. Sure in the shit, Philip was fucking this chick on his sofa and, presumably, Tommy’s mother wa

The problem with Savannah was she didn’t deceive herself. She never said she was going to do a thing unless she did, or unless there was a good chance that she might do it. As wonderful as the idea of “going back to school” was, and she could afford it, she remembered what most of her friends did not. That they had been in no way academic and for them school had been

AUNT CHLOE HAD BEEN TASTELESS. She was what people now called ghetto fabulous. Everyone was using that word now and no one knew what it meant. Once, Mason Darrow had been watching an award show and, affront of all fronts, a Black woman had misused ghetto fabulous. She had a voice like a valley girl and Mason didn’t think she was really Black anyway, but she had shown

“It does get crazier.” “It does,” Sidney confessed. “And since it will all be out anyway... I’ll tell you. See, Chris went berserk the day that his father told him... Mark told Chris, that he was gay.” “Wait,” Mason was confused. “Mark found out Chris was gay and told him—” “No,” Sidney waved that off. “Mark is gay.” “What?” both boys said at once

There was a knock on Mason’s door that afternoon. Addison was going to be at the gas station and then with that Bonnie girl and Tommy was doing something with his mother. Balliol had been wrangled for choir practice at Saint George’s, so it couldn’t be one of his friends. He could smell the cigarette smoke from his father’s studio so Sidney was in his zone which left

It took Sully a moment to catch on and then when he did, he had a look on his face like he was running down the street, running toward the end of something, trying to catch up. “You can’t be Chicago,” Sully said. “Not my Chicago.” Balliol nodded. “I mean, I changed some facts. Like I said my real name was Robert cause I wanted to make sure your real on
