Paperboy was written by an authour named Vince Vawter and was originally published on the 14th of May 2013. The genre of the novel is historical fiction. The setting of the story in Memphis Tennessee in the 1950s. Back then people were criticized by the colour of their skin, so for example, if you're skin is brown (not being racist) you would be called black and so those people would be treated as maids to the white people (again not being racist).
So basically the story is about a boy named Victor, (if you have read the book the name was also revealed at the ending), he had a stuttering problem and has a hard time speaking words. The book was really cool to read I also got to learn some cool words.
If you read the title you're probably asking what it means, well it is a quote that the authour wrote from the book, the quote was originally from James Earl Jones.
