Map of Tulsa is the first novel by American writer Benjamin Lytal. It's a story of a young man who escaped a bored adolescence in Tulsa, Oklahoma for an intellectually vibrant student life in NYC and later returns to have a relationship with the unattainable girl he admired as a youth. He also comes to terms with his love/hate relationship with his hometown. The plot plays out both expectantly and surprisingly, and it's a strong, vivid story that is, while not absolutely routine, uses routine elements (girl, hometown, coming of age) well.
