Ogden's Proverb

John McCluskey

4.9/5 (26289 ratings)

Description:“With All Thy Getting, Get Understanding.” What does that even mean, a teenaged Ogden Skully pondered as he tried to make sense of his new life. And his first girlfriend, his parent’s troubling influence on him, and a tragic episode at the private prep school he had been sent to without his permission, where he knew he didn’t belong, and which sported that perplexing proverb. As an older Ogden looks back at his life and discovers through these experiences, and more, exactly when and how he became the person he would always be, he realizes just what “… Get Understanding” requires.“McCluskey, the author of A Moment of Fireflies (2020), offers a bildungsroman that, despite its relatively short length of fewer than 200 pages, is full of long, winding sentences—and some great lines. For example, Ogden wins Chole over with an unspecified comment that is, according to Ogden, “pithy, yet decidedly harebrained and proudly empty-headed.” … McCluskey peels back multiple layers of memory, revealing the not-so-privileged past that led to Ogden’s seemingly secure future. Over the course of the book, the author memorably lays bare how one can be haunted by moments years in the past even while one looks toward a bright future.A rich, soulful coming-of-age tale full of the wonder of first love.” ~ Kirkus ReviewsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
