A midcentury Southern coming-of-age tale. Raucous and vulgar, but raw and probably one of the more quotable books I’ve read. Golden wisdom through character’s failure if you can wade through the muck.

It’s a non-linear narrative of the life of Rabo Karabekian, an artist and veteran writing his life story, talking about events in his life between the telling of real-time events. It's about self-destruction as much as it is creation, and it's humorous as much as it is bitterly ironic.
There are thoughts from Rabo periodically that really make you think about America and its people and about the role of others in our lives.
I’ll recommend this one til the day I day, if you’ve read it or are going to read it tell me what you think of it!!!

Funny, tragic, idiosyncratic, embarrassingly relatable at points, & most of all intelligent as hell. Absolutely worth working through!

An insane and unhinged take on the classic cross-country runaway story — the protagonists are more antiheroes than heroes, but you root for them all the way until the last page. The plot is refreshing, the journey you take with Teal and Cody is a blast, and the writing is exceptional. I loved the seemless transition of perspectives, often mid-chapter or even mid-sentence, as well as dream-like explorations of characters who weren’t actually with the leads. Teenager is one of the few books I’ve read that I consider a must read.

one of my favorite books of all time. some of her book’s translations are difficult but this one captures the flow of her words so beautifully. basically a nontraditional love story that i think anyone can relate to
