Work Description

They used to call me Crisco Kid because I was fat in the can...

So begins the woeful tale of Bobby Marks, a 200-pound candy-bar nut who hated summertime because he couldn't hide his body fat in heavy clothes. The year was 1957. The month was hot July. That was the summer his friend Joanie goaded him into getting the job. When he met his idol, the lifeguard Pete Marino. And when Willie, the crazy ex-marine, vowed to gun him down. Then Bobby found out just how terrifying, exhilarating, dangerous, and wonderful, one fat summer could be...

I always hated summertime.
