Year: 2022
Language: English
Description: Frankie and Zeke, teenagers at a loose end, spend their summer in smalltown Tennessee, 'making art' and plastering copies of their anonymous poster around town, to shocking and chaotic effect. But when a New York art critic writing a story about the Coalfield Panic of 1996, tracks down one Frances Budge twenty years later, that anonymity is about to be a thing of the past...

Captivating and quirky, this is an intriguing story of oddballs and misfits, the spectacle of mass hysteria and the transformative power of art.

Some liked it, some didn't. An interesting account of teenage intensity and angst.
