When you grow up rough like I did, when violence and scrapes with the law are common occurrences, this book means only one thing--hope. The bestselling young reader novel of all-time gets the deluxe hardcover treatment for its 50th anniversary. And it is beautiful. THE OUTSIDERS is the quintessential story of troubled youth. For every kid who has ever been picked on, pushed aside (or down) by the authority figures who are supposed to protect you, or if you just never fit in with the suburban norm, this is your book. It is a flare into the night sky for lost boys. A glorious ode to the misfits among us, the importance of staying true to yourself, and a love letter to the friends who become our chosen families. Few books have ever meant as much to me as THE OUTSIDERS, and, if you ever need it, I hope it can help you as much as it has helped me. Stay gold.
What can I say about this magnificent novel? A young Swedish immigrant is separated from his older brother on their way to America. Thus begins an epic journey from California to New York – an anti-Western. Set amidst the Gold rush – this book is amazing.
Journalist Dave Cullen has written about the epidemic of school shootings for two decades. In this new book he focuses on the movement spurred by Parkland's March for Our Lives. The students' voices are what Cullen focuses on and the mission and movement they have created.
Deliciously disturbing, surreal, and stunning. The narrator, Abby, is simultaneously horrifying and relatable, slithering through seclusion, obsession, maina, and manipulation toward her inevitable destiny. This narrative is a stylistic and artistic marvel - it shimmers in its own peculiar darkness. Perfectly twisted.
A postmodern fairytale, dark and enchanting in its simplicity. Set in a crumbling cultural period, this book shows a child’s perspective of an idyllic life during a tumultuous moment in history. Each vignette is an exploration of family, identity, and the loss of innocence.
Quips & Quotes
Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to people –– the beauty within themselves.
