The Samaritan by Fred Venturini
4.0
The Samaritan follows Dale Sampson, a complex but lovable protagonist, through his life full of love, commitment, loss, and perseverance. Dale struggles to make a positive impact on the world, hindered by his own shyness and traumatic past.
This book makes a big impact. It is gritty and nostalgic with dystopian overtones. It marries the best of entertainment and critical thought. It’s a mixture of Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment , Nancy Farmer’s House of the Scorpion, and something all its own.
If you enjoy discovering exciting new authors, consider reading the other books published by Blank Slate Press.
