Too Cool

Bag om Too Cool

Sixteen-year-old Elbert Earl Evans (known as Triple E) bursts out of Goodpasture Correctional Facility and speeds toward freedom in a stolen Oldsmobile. As he outraces the police, his car stalls in the Colorado badlands in the middle of a snowstorm and he is stranded with his girl-, Jeanne. Once he sets out on foot to find help in a landscape of bone- chilling desolation, his mind becomes a blizzard of memories and images, from the soft, sweet voice of his grandmother to his father's cruel betrayal to the stark words of a writer named Kafka. The past becomes inseparable from the present as he fights to stay alive?and relives the twisting, tragi-comic odyssey that has brought him to this desperate point. A classic tale of disaffected youth and the yearning for redemption set against the modern American West, Too Cool takes us into the heart and mind of a young man struggling to confront the violence in his nature and find the humanity within.
