Mark

Lonnie Coleman

4.9/5 (26142 ratings)

Description:The work of a superbly gifted writer at the height of his powers, Lonnie Coleman's Mark is destined to become a classic—the wonderfully moving story of a young man growing up in a small Southern town. It is a novel about the lives of ordinary people, the exploration of feeling, the capacity to love, the discovery of sexual choice.Set in Montgomery, Alabama, and Savannah, Georgia, in the twenties and thirties, Mark is the story of a young boy, orphaned by the death of both parents and raised by his aunt and uncle, from adolescence to adulthood, and ending with the outbreak of World War II. The novel is filled with abundant life, with the characters so totally perceived that we feel we have known them for years: Marshall, who dazzles and entertains Mark with his wild theatricality; Alice, a schoolgirl Katharine Hepburn, who enchants him with her aloofness; Margaret Torrence, his teacher, ally, and mentor, intolerant of pretense and dishonesty, who encourages his talent as a writer; Carl, who answers the need Mark has always felt, but never quite understood, by teaching him to trust and to love. Lonnie Coleman has written a novel of one man's life that is also a novel about human beings, families, friends, teachers—good and bad—small-town American, the Depression, strength, courage, success, and failure. The author knows the lives of people in small southern towns intimately. He writes of them sensitively, yet is never sentimental; with dialogue that is often devastatingly funny, sometimes poignant, yet always true; with characters that are flawed and lovable in their humanity, yet never stereotyped.A writer of great integrity and insight, who perceives emotional states in all their subtlety, Lonnie Coleman has created in Mark the sense of real characters, of life truly lived, of the inward transformation of a human being from childhood into maturity.Like James Agee's A Death in the Family and Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Lonnie Coleman's Mark transcends its locale to speak to every reader everywhere.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
