Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -A New York Times Editor's Choice Pick 'A novel of huge heart and fierce intelligence. It has restored my faith in pretty much everything.' -Ann Patchett, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth '[An] electric debut novel.Reader, beware: Spending time with Lucy is unapologetic fun, and heartbreak, and awe as well.' -Chloe Malle, The New York Times Book Review In this 'frank, bittersweet coming-of-age story that crackles with raw adolescent energy, fresh-cut prose, and a kinetic sense of place' (Entertainment Weekly), a teenaged tomboy explores love, growing up, and New York City in the early 1990s. New York, 1993. Street-smart seventeen-year-old Lucy Adler is often the only girl on the public basketball courts. Lucy's inner life is a contradiction. She's by turns quixotic and cynical, insecure and self-possessed, and, despite herself, is in unrequited love with her best friend and pickup teammate, Percy, the rebellious son of a prominent New York family. As Lucy begins to question accepted notions of success, bristling against her own hunger for male approval, she is drawn into the world of a pair of provocative feminist artists living in what remains of New York's bohemia. Told with wit and pathos, The Falconer is at once a novel of ideas, a portrait of a time and place, and an ode to the obsessions of youth. In her critically acclaimed debut, Dana Czapnik captures the voice of an unforgettable modern literary heroine, a young woman in the first flush of freedom. 288 pp. Englisch.
