<DIV><p><DIV>&ldquo;Travel brochures, postcards, and license plates from decades past touted Michigan as &lsquo;The Water Winter Wonderland!&rsquo; And in Adam Schuitema&rsquo;s stories, it is just that: a wonderland where men and boys collide with sand and snow, flora and fauna; where nature is not only somewhere to explore, but a place to hide. In his Michigan, deer frolic through urban areas, old men pilfer sand dunes, and the woods are the best place to hide your <i>Playboy</i>s<i>.</i> From childhood to adulthood, these guys struggle to do the right thing&mdash;searching the woods, gazing out at the lake, sifting the ashen sands&mdash;for a clue as to how to become the men they need to be. Schuitema&rsquo;s <i>Freshwater Boys </i>is the literary equivalent of an early spring leap into the still icy waters of the bay: shocking, refreshing, cleansing. The best way to rouse a spirit drowsy from an endless, arduous winter.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Zadoorian, <i>The Leisure Seeker </i>and <i>The Lost Tiki Palaces of Detroit</i></div></p></DIV>
