<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>With a new afterword by Jeff Gomez</b> <p/> Originally published during the literary "Brat Pack" phenomenon of the 1980s, this edition of Lisa Pliscou's acclaimed first novel--written when she was 24--roars through ten riotous days in the hilariously tangled life of a Harvard senior who, as the heroine of her own story, must find a way to set her world to rights. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Brilliant . . . It's a perfect depiction of the end of college, when life feels like a sinking ship. Luckily for us, Miranda isn't going down quietly." --Tara Altebrando, author of <i>Dreamland Social Club </i>and <i>Roomies</i> <p/> "Pliscou has managed here to bring to life a particular segment of a generation . . . plus some of the funniest dialogue I've read in a long time--both painfully real and funny, which is quite an authorial coup." --David Foster Wallace <p/> "A deft coming-of-age story." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/> "Pliscou's dialogue . . . is eerily perfect. . . . It makes her writing seem less like a book and more like a story told among friends about a shared experience." --<i>The Orient </i>(Bowdoin College)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lisa Pliscou writes for both children and adults. Her most recent book is <i>Young Jane Austen: Becoming a Writer</i>, a biography focusing on Austen's creative development. <br>
