Synopsis
In a style that is both brave and brutally funny, Williams gives readers an irreverent glimpse of a brief descent into madness and the bizarre subculture of knife selling., Friends. Family. Housekeepers. All's Fair in Love, War, and Knife Selling. Check your dignity at the door as you stride across the welcome mat with Jay Hauser in this insightful and strangely touching story about young love, fear, manipulation, and the lengths we go to to succeed in a world that values charisma, competition, and acceptance above all else. Set on the elite campus of Dartmouth College and in the well-heeled reaches of the Detroit suburbs, this twisted and affecting coming-of-age novel provides a startlingly authentic and often hilarious glimpse of life through the eyes of an indulged and misguided young hustler. Jay Hauser is wrapping up his first year at Dartmouth when he takes a summer job selling knives door-to-door to prove to Isabelle, the great love of his life, that he is charming enough to pull it off. His quest quickly becomes a dark obsession as he works his way up the knife-selling ladder trying to win the summer sales competition and lands neck-deep in an absurd subculture that is harder to break away from than he could ever have imagined. As sophomore year looms on the horizon, Jay's summer "break" has evolved into a hazy bender spent lying and scamming his way through all the places -- and people -- he once called home. Knifeboy marks the arresting debut of a fine young writer who reveals the unnerving reality of a ravenous generation in a lavish and unforgiving world., Dared to be a knife salesman, freshman Ted soon finds he's using any means possible to rise up the ranks, in this disturbing but poignant coming of age novel., Freshman Ted Wilson takes a dare from the love of his life, Emily, who says he isn't charming enough to sell knives. Ted decides to prove her wrong and spends his summer selling knives for Vector Marketing, working his way up the ranks by any dubious means possible. Before long he is deeply submerged in the bizarre subculture of knife selling and his summer job turns into a full blown existential crisis. Knifeboy is a satirical and hilarious first novel that's unafraid to be offensive and disturbing, but is ultimately a poignant tale of a young man's coming of age., Friends. Family. Housekeepers.All's Fair in Love, War, and Knife Selling.

- e***n (392)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
- 0***g (380)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufExcellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
