Character Role Analysis

Manny Hernandez

It's clear from the get-go that our head honcho is Manny. We're with this dude from the moment we start Parrot in the Oven until the very last page, following along his rollercoaster ride through family drama, boxing disappointments, and shooting escapades. Whether it's a good adventure or a bad one, we're right by Manny's side the whole time. Plus, since Manny is our narrator, we get the scoop straight from our main man himself. He's our main man, through and through.
