Boy With Loaded Gun by Lewis Nordan

His own mother referred to him as a "nervous child", an "odd child". He was the class clown. He was obsessed with sex, comic books, and beatniks. He tried to fly off his front porch like Superman only to land flat on his face. He was the boy who saved his money, bought a mail-order gun, and shot himself in the foot--over and over again. The floodgates of confession open in this funny, tragic, and bittersweet memoir about an awkward kid who dreamed of a world beyond his home in the Mississippi Delta.
