“A study in adolescent socialization and the peculiar combination of budding sexuality, self-obsessed dreaminess and downright mean-spiritedness that epitomizes the teenage years.“–Publishers Weekly

“A minimalist, but haunting memoir of the artist’s troubled adolescence.“–New York Times Book Review
