Paperback. Capturing the anxious, self-aware mood of young college grads in the noughties, and embracing the contradictions of our new century, this is a gleefully rude comedy of manners - 'Middlemarch' for Millennials. The four whip-smart narrators - idealistic Cory, Internet-lurking Will, awkward Henrik and vicious Linda - are torn between fixing the world and cannabalizing it. In prose that ricochets between humour and pain, the four estranged friends stagger through San Francisco Bay Area's maze of tech startups, protestors, gentrifiers, karaoke bars, house parties and cultish self-help seminars, washing up in each other's lives once again. Num Pages: 384 pages. BIC Classification: FA. .
