HUGE by James W. Fuerst
James W. Fuerst’s HUGE is a riff on a classic hardboiled detective novel. It is noir scaled down to the suburbs, as traversed by a kid on the cusp of middle school. Video arcades take the place of bars, and high school football players are the hired goons. Instead of being narrated by a jaded man with a suit and a whiskey bottle, the story is told by a chocolate milk guzzling, jam shorts wearing, twelve-year-old boy.
