James Sveck is an intelligent and precocious teenager who has just finished high school and during the summer works at his mother's art gallery in Manhattan, where almost no one ever enters. Despite having been admitted to the prestigious Brown University, he is not sure he wants to go. What he would really like is to buy a house in the country and spend the day reading, without being bothered. He hates interacting with people his age, whom he avoids and with whom he thinks he has nothing in common. James' narration offers us a sarcastic and funny look at his confusing life, at how his dysfunctional family and his psychiatrist try in vain to help him, or at how he tries, clumsily, to clear his mind and emerge from his isolation. Considered by American critics as one of the best novels published in recent years about New York, this is a sharp and emotional novel about a young man capable of questioning himself, his family and the times he has been given.
