Description:
Molly Jong-Fast picked up a pen for the first time at seventeen, when she was asked to write for The Forward on what it was like to grow up as the only child of Erica Jong and Jonathan Fast. And, to her surprise, "I found myself scrawling words into my notebook: half autobiographical, half made-up. I began to type and found I could not stop.... I recognized the symptoms. I knew what I was becoming".

She has been writing ever since. Unlike the title of her book, as an undergraduate at NYU, a regular contributor to Marie Claire and Mademoiselle, and having sold her first book at the age of nineteen, she is not a normal girl. Jong-Fast's debut novel uses the topics she writes about for these magazines -- food, drugs, shoe-shopping -- as the bones for her story of a privileged young woman's fall and her resurrection. The novel will shock you with its candor, and will pique your expectations. "We live in a society extremes. Fame and fortune burn at match rate -- one can be an afterthought before one is twenty". But fortunately for Jong-Fast, all signs are that she's here to stay.
