Through sharply drawn portraits of friends, teachers, crushes, and burnouts, Ted McLoof pinpoints the liminal space between adolescence and adulthood. It's funny, it's painful, and it searches for a kind of grace in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 20, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52932106125619,"sku":"9798987040140","price":26.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/masBHsMAoQ9798987040140.webp?v=1767866149","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/empty-calories-and-male-curiosity-stories-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
