How I learned to hate in Ohio / David Stuart Maclean. by MacLean, David, 1974- The Overlook Press, 2021. Call #: FICTION MACL Subjects Racism -- Fiction.   Race relations -- Fiction.   Teenage boys -- Fiction.   Nineteen eighties -- Fiction.   Ohio -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781419747199 (hc.) Description:  249 p. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "A brilliant, hilarious, and ultimately devastating debut novel about how racial discord grows in America. In late-1980s rural Ohio, bright but mostly friendless Barry Nadler begins his freshman year of high school with the goal of going unnoticed as much as possible. But his world is upended by the arrival of Gurbaksh, Gary for short, a Sikh teenager who moves to his small town and instantly befriends Barry and, in Gatsby-esque fashion, pulls him into a series of increasingly unlikely adventures. As their friendship deepens, Barry’s world begins to unravel, and his classmates and neighbors react to the presence of a family so different from theirs. Through darkly comic and bitingly intelligent asides and wry observations, Barry reveals how the seeds of xenophobia and racism find fertile soil in this insular community, and in an easy, graceless, unintentional slide, tragedy unfolds."--Provided by publisher.
