Waar gaat het over?
"Dan Josefson is a writer of astounding promise a . . . a bold, funny, mordant, and deeply intelligent debut." David Foster Wallace, author of Infinite Jest
WINNER OF THE 2015 WHITING AWARD FOR FICTION
New York Times Editors Choice
Benjamin arrives with his parents for a tour of Roaring Orchards, a therapeutic boarding school tucked away in upstate New York. Suddenly, his parents are gone and Benjamin learns that he is there to stay. Sixteen years old, a two-time failed suicide, Benjamin must navigate his way through a new world of morning meds, popped privileges, candor meetings and cartoon brunchesall run by adults who themselves have yet to really come of age.
The only person who comprehends the school's many rules and rituals is Aubrey, the founder and headmaster. Fragile, brilliant, and prone to rage, he is as likely to use his authority to reward students as to punish them. But when Aubrey falls ill, life at the school begins to unravel. Benjamin has no one to rely on but the other students, especially Tidbit, an intriguing but untrustworthy girl with a "self-afflicting personality." More and more, Benjamin thinks about running away from Roaring Orchardsbut he feels an equal need to know just what it is he would be leaving behind.
