Reviews
"An imaginative debut novel...Zion nicely balances the relatable with the curious as she weaves a darkly humorous, gloomy tale." -- Publishers Weekly "Lenore Zion's dizzying debut novel, Stupid Children , contains many back-shivering, put-the-book-aside-and-take-a-deep-breath moments." --Brian Gresko, The Rumpus " Stupid Children is a bildungsroman of twisted proportions told with startling clarity through the filter of a smart, psychoanalytic perspective. No character is safe from Zion's unapologetic examinations. She bestows her protagonist with an open mind, a sharp intellect, and a sweltering imagination--all of the requisite ingredients for a disturbing, fascinating novel." --Thomas Michael Duncan, Necessary Fiction " Stupid Children is witty and engaging, proof that Zion is adept at handling difficult subject matter." -- ForeWord Reviews "While it might not be unusual to read something that makes you laugh and cringe at the same time, Stupid Children is a rare book that maintains that unsettling tone from beginning to end." --Heather Ortiz, San Francisco Book Review " Stupid Children surprises and dazzles at every turn. You will not forget this book." --Jonathan Evison , author of All About Lulu and West of Here "A wildly inventive, horribly funny, and morbidly touching debut novel. If I were the multi-spleened founder of an oddball cult in need of a new high priestess, I'd tap Lenore Zion." --Greg Olear , author of Fathermucker and Totally Killer "Equal parts satirical romp and dystopian lament, and skillfully blending house of horrors with theater of the absurd." --Gina Frangello , author of A Life in Men , Slut Lullabies and My Sister's Continent, "One of the year's most impressive debuts." --David Gutowski, Largehearted Boy "An imaginative debut novel...Zion nicely balances the relatable with the curious as she weaves a darkly humorous, gloomy tale." -- Publishers Weekly "Lenore Zion's dizzying debut novel, Stupid Children , contains many back-shivering, put-the-book-aside-and-take-a-deep-breath moments." --Brian Gresko, The Rumpus " Stupid Children is a bildungsroman of twisted proportions told with startling clarity through the filter of a smart, psychoanalytic perspective.

Synopsis
Jane lived happily in Miami Beach with her father until his failed suicide attempt and relocation to a mental hospital forced her into the foster care system. By chance, Jane is assigned to foster parents in central Florida who are deeply involved in the Second Day Believers-a cult focused on the cleansing" of mental impurities in their children, and the sanctity of the internal organs of farm animals. Jane is quickly initiated into the Second Day Believers, but her father's lingering voice prevents her from becoming entirely indoctrinated. Despite Jane's resistance, she is revered in the cult as the second coming of the late wife of Sir One, the leader of the Second Day Believers. Poised to rise through the ranks of the insane cult and marry their leader, Jane must make a difficult choice. Stupid Children is a story inspired by Katherine Dunn's, Geek Love , and written in a voice similar to Donald Barthelme. Hilarious, offbeat, fast-paced and wildly imaginative, Zion, a doctor of psychology, imbues her characters with bizarre psychological abnormalities to create vivid, memorable eccentrics that leap from the page. With deadpan, wonderful ruminations on tattoos, the nature of coincidence, drug use, father-daughter relationships, mental illness, violence, and deviant sexuality, this novel is destined to become a cult favorite., Jane lived happily in Miami Beach with her father until his failed suicide attempt and relocation to a mental hospital forced her into the foster care system.

- n***r (44)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufItem was listed as Used: Like New, but actually came shrinkwrapped, so it was basically brand new. One disc had come loose during shipping, but this happens sometimes and isn't necessarily the fault of the seller. I asked for a photo of the item and the seller happily obliged and I got a good deal on this!
