Ithaca
In a little town in the San Joaquin Valley of California, 14-year-old Homer Macauley is determined to be the fastest and greatest bicycle telegraph messenger anyone has seen. His older brother went to war, leaving Homer to look after his sister, his widowed mother and his former brother, Ulysses. And so it really is that as spring turns to summer, 1942,'' Homer Macauley delivers messages of love, hope, pain... and passing... to the good people of Ithaca. And Homer Macauley will grapple with an message which could change him - into a person. Founded on Pulitzer Prize-winning writer William Saroyan's 1943 book, The Human Comedy, ITHACA is the most bizarre wartime tale of the Home Front. It's a coming-of-age narrative in regards to the exuberance of youth, the sweetness of life, the sting of departure.
