It’s easy. Just journey through the pages of Homer is Where the Heart Is, with its array of unique characters and adventures that you won’t soon forget: a thirteen-year-old would-be pimp, the postman who can’t read, a principal who makes an obscene gesture at his sixth and seventh grade boys, the football coach with gas, the classroom student who “hears” a kangaroo in the room, the mother who always votes against her son in singing contests. These are just a few of the people in the narrator’s life as he grows up in Homer, Louisiana, and interacts with these and other people of his hometown, all the while fighting a lifelong battle with the frustrations of a hearing loss, and trying to survive a two-year conflict with his high school football coach. Finally, in Part II of the book, he describes going into his twilight years as an insatiable reader and concludes with rankings of important books that belong on everybody’s bookshelves.view less
