(4) YA Max Caldwell, rising senior and editor of the school paper, seems to have it together, but on the inside he's lost. He breaks up with his girlfriend for reasons he can't explain, then comes of age through his first sexual experience (with a stranger) and a drunk driving accident. Max can't articulate his angst (and neither can the author), but the blasé, uninflected voice may find fans among the disaffected.
