The Annunciations of Hank Meyerson, Mama’s Boy and Scholar
By Scott Muskin (M.F.A. ’98)
Hooded Friar Press, 2009

This award-winning debut novel features a complex protagonist who is both sympathetic and pathetic, intelligent and oblivious, victim and violator. A self-described mama’s boy, Hank Meyerson is unkempt, overweight, and indulgent. His life takes an emotional rollercoaster ride through acts of betrayal and their repercussions. He travels from Minneapolis to Montana in an attempt to piece together a self he can live with and find redemption.
