[ED: Taschenbuch], Neuware - Joyce Carol Oates's Wonderland Quartet comprises four remarkable novels that explore social class in America and the inner lives of young Americans. In Expensive People, Oates takes a provocative and suspenseful look at the roiling secrets of America's affluent suburbs. Set in the late 1960s, this first-person confession is narrated by Richard Everett, a precocious and obese boy who sees himself as a minor character in the alarming drama unfolding around him. Fascinated by yet alienated from his attractive, self-absorbed parents and the privileged world they inhabit, Richard incisively analyzes his own mismanaged childhood, his pretentious private schooling, his 'successful-executive” father, and his elusive mother. In an act of defiance and desperation, eleven-year-old Richard strikes out in a way that presages the violence of ever-younger Americans in the turbulent decades to come.A National Book Award finalist, Expensive People is a stunning combination of social satire and gothic horror. 'You cannot put this novel away after you have opened it,” said The Detroit News. 'This is that kind of book-hypnotic, fascinating, and electrifying.”Expensive People is the second novel in the Wonderland Quartet. The books that complete this acclaimed series, A Garden of Earthly Delights, them, and Wonderland, are also available from the Mod, DE, [SC: 2.99], Neuware, gewerbliches Angebot, 189x144x14 mm, 256, [GW: 191g], Banküberweisung, PayPal, Offene Rechnung (Vorkasse vorbehalten), [PU: Quadrangle Books]<
