About The Book: A short story about a boy who views himself and the world in mathematical terms.

The Review: This is a very unusual story about a boy who relates to everything in binary or mathematical terms, and his interaction with his parents, teachers, tutor, friends, classmates, and world. This includes a brief homosexual encounter with ninth-grader Matt, who kisses the boy leaving him with the feeling that he has kissed “x,” the unknown value that he hates but will come to love, which is full of possibilities that open a whole new and colorful, if not numeric dimension to his life.

While interesting in its use of symbols, I am not sure that there is a point to this story, and that it might have been told more effectively in a different way.

Pagan Elements: N/A.
