Ironman (novel)
''Ironman'' is a 1995 novel by young adult writer Chris Crutcher who studied art and literature at the University of Notre Dame in his twenties. He created the novel's cover image himself using the medium of oil pastel.
The novel is the story of Beauregard Brewster, a high school student training for a triathlon while also in disputes with his father and English teacher, both of whom exhibit portentous views of masculine authority. The book is written as a combination of traditional third person narrative and epistolary novel through a series of informal letters written by the protagonist to CNN personality Larry King. The novel has received numerous accolades including being recognized by the American Library Association as a Best Book for Young Adults.()
==Plot summary==
The story takes place in Spokane, Washington where Beauregard (Bo) Brewster lives with his mother and younger brother Jordan. Motivated by years of fishing with his father and a recent dispute with Coach Redmond, Bo’s football coach and English teacher, the teenager trains vigorously for the Yukon Jack Ironman Triathlon. Along the way Bo is forced to enroll in the school’s anger management program, where much to his surprise he meets a wise old shop teacher and a group of supposed delinquents who inspire and support him further in his efforts.
Bo wants to participate in the Yukon Jack, a biking-swimming-running triathlon. The things that get in his way involve relationship problems with his father, as well as an English teacher and old football coach, who Bo keeps calling horrible names. Because of this, Bo must participate in anger management classes. While Bo is training, he finds out his mentor, who teaches the swimming team, is gay. Bo's foil is Wyrak, who is challenged by Bo's martial arts girlfriend, Shelly. When you thought nothing else could get worse in the poor boy's life, you find out that Bo's father gave a bike that Bo had been saving up for the Yukon Jack to buy from his dad, just gives it away to Wyrak. But with the help of the other kids in the anger management group, Bo overcomes the obstacles and meets his goal, to compete in the Yukon Jack triathlon, and also beats Wyrack.
