![]() ![]() Speaking to each in turn, Leonard slowly reveals his secrets as the hours tick by and the moment of truth approaches. Because today is the day he will kill his former best friend, and then himself, with his grandfather’s P-38 pistol.īut first he must say good-bye to the four people who matter most to him: his Humphrey Bogart-obsessed next-door neighbor, Walt his classmate, Baback, a violin virtuoso Lauren, the Christian homeschooler he has a crush on and Herr Silverman, who teaches the high school’s class on the Holocaust. It is also the day he hides a gun in his backpack. To let them know I really cared about them and I’m sorry I couldn’t be more than I was-that I couldn’t stick around-and that what’s going to happen today isn’t their fault. I want to give them each something to remember me by. In addition to the P-38, there are four gifts, one for each of my friends. Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock Little, Brown & Company (August 2013) ![]()
