Wildly kaleidoscopic and furiously cinematic, Home After Dark is a
literary tour-de-force that renders the brutality of adolescence in
the so-called nostalgic 1950s, evoking classics such as The Lord of
the Flies. Thirteen-year-old Russell Pruitt, abandoned by his
mother, follows his father to California in search of a dream.
Forced to fend for himself, Russell struggles to survive in
Marshfield, a dilapidated town haunted by a sadistic animal killer
and a ring of malicious boys who bully Russell for being "queer".
Rescued from his booze-swilling father by Wen and Jian Mah, a
Chinese immigrant couple who long for a child, Russell betrays them
by running away with their restaurant's proceeds. Told through
thousands of spliced images, Home After Dark is a new form of
literature, a shocking graphic interpretation of cinema verite.
