Scissors: A Novel of Youth is a poignant coming-of-age story that captures the emotional intensity and formative experiences of a boy named John—nicknamed “Scissors”—as he grows up in a distant land. Set in Asia Minor, the novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the universal trials of adolescence. Through moments of personal conflict, discovery, and growth, John’s journey reflects the delicate balance between youthful innocence and the sobering challenges of maturity. Cecil Roberts brings a lyrical and perceptive voice to this early work, creating a character whose inner world is as richly drawn as the landscapes that surround him. Emotionally resonant and deeply human, Scissors offers a timeless portrait of youth caught between worlds—physical, emotional, and cultural.
