Early Work: A Novel by Andrew Martin (English) Paperback Book

Description: Early Work by Andrew Martin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A wry, supersmart, seriocomic first novel from a prodigious talent-a Sentimental Education for our time Publisher Description For young writers of a certain temperament-if they havent had such notions beaten out of them by MFA programs and the Internet-the delusion persists that great writing must be sought in what W. B. Yeats once called the "foul rag and bone shop of the heart." Thats where Peter Cunningham has been looking for inspiration for his novel-that is, when he isnt teaching at the local womens prison, walking his dog, getting high, and wondering whether its time to tie the knot with his college girlfriend, a medical student whose night shifts have become a standing rebuke to his own lack of direction. When Peter meets Leslie, a sexual adventurer taking a break from her fiancé, he gets a glimpse of what he wishes and imagines himself to be: a writer of talent and nerve. Her rag-and-bone shop may be as squalid as his own, but at least she knows her way around the shelves. Over the course of a Virginia summer, their charged, increasingly intimate friendship opens the door to difficult questions about love and literary ambition.With a keen irony reminiscent of Sam Lipsyte or Lorrie Moore, and a romantic streak as wide as Roberto Bolaños, Andrew Martins Early Work marks the debut of a writer as funny and attentive as any novelist of his generation. Author Biography ANDREW MARTINs stories have appeared in The Paris Review, Zyzzyva, and Tin Houses Flash Fridays series, and his non-fiction has been published by The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The Washington Post, and others. Early Work is his first novel.
