Description:
Her name is Mary White, though she prefers to be called Paul, the name of her ill-fated twin brother. Orphaned, she is being raised by her clueless Aunt Myra and Uncle Tommy, and fears she may be about to drown in dull suburban torpor, until she falls in love with her new sixth grade teacher, Miss Skip Hartmann. Devoted teacher and pupil nm off to live in New York City, where Mary receives a Very Unconventional Education -- art dealers, drug dealers, boyfriends, and epic piercings -- all of which she relates in the most Austenian gentle reader tone.
Expand description
In "Nothing is Terrible, " Matthew Sharpe takes the bildungsroman and turns it upside-down and inside-out, Like a breakneck sprint through a Manhattan house of mirrors, it offers readers a giddily literate tour of the warped but resourceful mind of a singularly strange young woman.
