BOOKMARK AT THE U—SEPTEMBER SELECTION
Sometimes We’re Always Real Same-Same by Mattox Roesch
Cesar, the teen gang-banger from Los Angeles, watched his older brother, Wicho, go to prison for his gang activities. Cesar's mother, determined to keep him from the same fate, moves herself and Cesar back to her native village in western Alaska. The only thing that the pessimistically-minded Cesar wants is to get back to L.A., but Go-boy, his older, overly optimistic cousin bets that Cesar won't go back. How these two cousins affect each other, and how their surroundings affect both of them is the basis of this story of life in a small village where everyone knows who you are and what you do. Sometimes We're Always Real Same-Same shows how we are often more alike in our wants, needs, and feelings than we really want to admit.
