A ten-year-old girl in Calumet City runs away to her pen pal in Bronzeville after her supposed best friend apparently dies in a ballooning accident.  Living with a psychic and a ghost, she plans to summon the ghost of her mother on New Year’s Eve at the World’s Fair.

Kittentits, a vulgar coming of age story from Holly Wilson, is certainly something.  If it weren’t for the local references, including a late appearance by one Bozo the Clown, I don’t know if I would have even finished this.  I wish the author well on her future endeavors, but I don’t think I will be a repeat consumer of her work.
