Wild Dada Ducks
| "The
sad story of Kevin, the messed-up thirteen-year-old, is one of the pastimes
of the Wild Dada Ducks. It is a story entitled Kevin Shapiro, Boy Orphan.
The Wild Dada Ducks tell this story to one another. Each Wild Dada Duck
makes up as much of the story as he likes, and the story is always changing.
Sometimes Kevin is an orphan, sometimes a juvenile delinquent, a druggie,
a lonely child of feuding parents, a social misfit, a homosexual, a weakling
who wants to play sports, and any number of other hard luck characters.
Kevin Shapiro, Boy Orphan, is different from the novels in Himler High
School Library in that he never solves his problems. Instead, we usually
kill him from time to time."
