Young And Revolting: the Continental Journals of Nick Twisp
“My birthday couldn’t come a day sooner. What a change in circumstances from my last natal day with Mom and Jerry in Oakland. Back then I was a lonely virgin grimly unwrapping an official Rodney “Butch” Bolicweigski first baseman’s glove. Now I’m sleeping with two camels in faraway France, a country where baseball is largely unknown. I’m in love with two beautiful girls, one of whom abandoned me exactly one month ago. Come back, Sheeni, wherever you are! I’m sure you must be thinking of me today.... Probably wishing you had my address so you could send me a nice card. Send yourself instead! We now have even more in common, my absent darling. We’re both 15, an age that commands no small measure of respect. Fifteen—mon dieu! That’s halfway to 30. (Or a fifth of the way to 75, if you really want to get morbid.) On this gala day I awoke in Brive-La-Gaillarde, a fairly nondescript burg that, not astoundingly, adjoins a river (the torpid Corréze). Lots of noisy trains chugging by our lot at all hours of the day and night.MoreLess
