Michelle Embree | İlgi Alanları
|
| Genel | " Cynical yet sweet (but never over sweet) and frequently hilarious, this first novel captures the free-fal loccasionally magical hell of being a freak in high school as well as anything I have ever read. If you ever got called faggot or lezzy on the school bus, you'll find this instantly recognizable, if not then maybe it's time to find out how it felt." ---- Poppy Z. Brite Author of Liquor and Prime. | | Müzik | ". . . a rare, authentic, and sometimes horrifying view of a high school misfit's expeirence. The dialogue and social situations, as well as Angie's narration are astonishingly realistic . . ." -- Booklist | | Filmler | "Embree has created a very sharp look at adolescent longing and angst."
-- Publishers Weekly | | Televizyon | "Embree has done an amazing job of making a novel about a fat girl, a lesbian and a high school student with only one enormous breast. As real and relevent as anything Judy Blume has written."
--- San Francisco Chronicle | | Kitaplar | "I wish there were books like this when I was growing up-- books that dealt with issues of class, ethnicity, gender and sexuality, both intelligently and unabashedly, within the contemporary culture." --- Michael Turner Author of The pornographers Poem and Hard Core Logo. | | Kahramanları | "Michelle Embree prods the messy, bleeding heart of the teenage wasteland, bringing us a cast of highschool misfits, all way too real and full of the brutal smarts and hilarity possesed by resilent outsider kids. I totally loved it." -- Michelle Tea Author of Valencia |

Hakkımda:
"Sixteen-year-old Angie is called 'Lezzylard' at school. Her best friend, Shelby, is an out dyke in a working class suburb of St. Louis, while the third member of their trio can't shoplift because security guards always fixate on her one enormous breast. Angie's mother is marrying a man with a sleazy moustache while the school's pot dealer, Inez, pretends to talk on payphones in order to yell things like, "I don't care how sick you are grandma, there's NO WAY I'm gonna SHOOT YOU!" Inez, it turns out, is also on a diet.
Angie is teased by football jocks, then platonically seduced by the prettiest girl in school, who is anorexic and wants to make imaginary grocery lists with her. To top it off, she tells fat-baiting Mindy Overton to "just puke up your lunch and eat a bag of shit already," Prompting the school's most brutal popular kids to decide she needs to be taken down a notch. Just how is Angie supposed to survive the next two months?"

"You could say that Michelle Embree's writing is 'fierce' or 'honest' or 'gritty' or you could just cut the crap and say that it's really, really good."
