Small Town Punk is easily as "readable" as any of the story-driven fare that dominates American publishing, and it surpasses most "literary fiction" pumped out by those same publishers in the quality of its prose, the intelligence of its approach, and the soundness of its aesthetic execution.

The episodes related are etched out in a relatively vivid way in this character's first-person account, but ultimately Small Town Punk is a portrayal of "alienated youth" of a kind that has become rather common in contemporary American (and British) fiction.

jamajer commented on the word Punk
I found the work Punk in a daily newsletter from Mimi Tanner. Her newsletters relate to advice to women on men and also on decluttering your home and life. Here is the quote from her article/newsletter today:
"A couple of years ago, a guy asked me, "Am I being
punked??" At that time, I had not heard the word "punked." It sounded kind of weird to me. I assured him that he was NOT being punked, whatever the HECK that was.... !!
I had to go home and look it up on the web.
Such events usually get a text back from my teenage daughter which includes "lol, mom!"
Guys are hyper-sensitive to being duped, "punked," tricked, and fooled. Get a grip, guys, we women really have better things to do."
