內容簡介: |
Sold to fourteen publishers around the world and receiving
tremendous critical acclaim, Twelve was one of the most significant
literary debuts of 2002. It quickly established its
seventeen-year-old author as an astonishing voice of the new
millennium. A chilling novel of urban adolescence that is "both an
indictment of excess and a cry of teenage loneliness" Joe Heim,
People, it has appeared on The Boston Globe, San Francisco
Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, New York Post, London Times, and
Sydney Morning Herald best-seller lists, and on The New York Times
extended list. Set among the privileged prep-school students of
Manhattan''s Upper East Side, Twelve follows White Mike, a dropout
drug dealer, through the week between Christmas and New Year''s.
Throughout the book, where there is an excess of everything but
hope, we are filled with that very emotion as White Mike struggles
for nothing less than his soul.
