Reseña del libro "Young and Immortal (en Inglés)"
an excruciatingly honest portrayal of adolescence from the conscience of a mild-mannered, sensitive narrator contemplating the quirks of his stormy friendship with this obnoxious, manipulative, irresponsible brute of an incidental muse. From white upper-middle class suburban Cedarburg, Wisconsin to the streets of Milwaukee, this odd pair finds a common bond in drugs, girls, and music as their discordant values develop, are tested, and change with the coming of age and pressures of society. With thoughtful commentary, this scrapbook-like memoir is colored with anecdotes, poems, letters, and perspective character asides, set against the backdrop of the current events and popular music of the time, from Cobain's suicide to the Clinton scandal to the Packers winning the Super Bowl. Confronting the more crude aspects of growing up that popular literature would otherwise skip over, it puts the "adult" back in "young adult" literary fiction.
