Product Description

 
Saul is a high school teacher. He and his wife, Patsy, have a new baby. All is well until they begin to be plagued by one of Saul's worst students--the not-very-bright Gordy Himmelman. Gordy stands in front of their house, speechless, and during one of these sessions he shoots himself--and as a result becomes a revered cult figure at the school. And Saul is blamed for his death. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.
