<DIV><DIV><b>Finalist for the National Book Award: A witty novel of coming of age during wartime in America</b></div><DIV><BR>In the words of its &ldquo;author,&rdquo; Samuel Heather, the <i>Confession </i>is a &ldquo;comical historical pastoral&rdquo; that chronicles the struggles of growing up the son of a Midwestern bishop. (&ldquo;My father&rsquo;s daily work was to be a father. It was excruciating.&rdquo;) Samuel escapes Missouri to attend Harvard, where he gets himself expelled for exploding a footbridge over the Charles River. He is soon sent to fight in Korea and lands in a prison camp. Samuel&rsquo;s picaresque coming of age&mdash;by turns both funny and poignant&mdash;is truly the tale of &ldquo;a child of the century.&rdquo;</div></div>
