Not Her Real Name and Other Stories

0/5 ( ratings)

This collection of twelve stories peopled by oversensitive twentysomethings transcends the self-indulgence that generally plagues the pseudodisenfranchised world of slackerdom and brings modern life into harsh and comic focus. There's "Let's Go," the story of a young couple's apathetic wanderings on a trip to discover the real Prague; "You Can Hear the Boats Go By," the story of ex-lovers who cope with their chance meeting in a supermarket in the most childish way; and "Barking," the mad rant of a drama student pissed off by Clown class. Not Her Real Name presents an essential guide to postmodern romance, to the vagaries of city life, and to a chronically self-absorbed generation whose love affairs are never as good as the last movies they've seen.

Language: English

Pages: 272
