Poor George

Jonathan Lethem, Paula Fox

About this book

"Gives us George Mecklin, a restless, soft-spoken teacher at a private school in Manhattan. Depressed by his life of vague moral purpose, George discovers a local adolescent named Ernest breaking into his house. Rather than hand the boy over to the police, as his nagging wife insists, George decides to tutor him. His life consequently implodes."--P. [4] of cover.
