Описание: From award-winning journalist David Kushner, a regular contributor to Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and Vanity Fair, Alligator Candy is a raw story about courage, survival, and most certainly about love (Tampa Bay Times).
David Kushner grew up in the suburbs of Florida in the early 1970s, running wild with his friends, exploring, riding bikes, and disappearing into the nearby woods for hours at a time. One morning in 1973, however, everything changed when Davids older brother Jon took a short bike trip to the local convenience store. He never returned. Alligator Candy is the story of Jons murder at the hands of two sadistic drifters, and everything that happened after.
Jons death was one of the first in what turned out to be a rash of child abductions and murders that dominated headlines for much of the 1970s and 80s. It was around this the time that milk cartons began to feature the images of missing children, and newscasters began asking, Its 10:00, do you know where you children are? Alligator Candy chronicles Jons story, but also tells how parenting in America has changed, casting light on the transition between two generations of children--one raised on freedom, the other on fear. Parents today can understand the love, hope, and fear Kushner so eloquently describes in this account of one familys transcendent courage in the face of crushing pain (Bookpage, Top Ten Book of the Month).
Alligator Candy is a disturbing, insightful, and inspiring meditation on grief, growth, and what childhood has become: not only a memorial to a brother tragically deprived of his right to live; but also a meditation on the courage necessary to live freely in a world riven by pain, suffering, and evil (Kirkus Reviews).
