Gustaf Berger’s THE PAPERBOY AND THE SPINSTER is a thoughtful exploration of the complexities of masculine identity in a recognizable – but hardly idyllic – 1950s America. On the cusp of manhood at 12 years old, its eponymous protagonist sometimes reflects the biases and failings of his time; but his surprising tenderness for plants, animals, and other human beings lends his story a deep, satisfying fullness.
