Product Information
Prep meets The Secret History in Nash Jenkins's Foster Dade Explores the Cosmos , a searing debut novel about a tragic scandal at an American prep school, told in the form of a literary investigation through a distinctly millennial lens. "[A] striking debut . . . funny, heartbreaking, and real." --Sam Lansky, author of Broken People When Foster Dade arrives at Kennedy, an elite boarding school in New Jersey, the year is 2008. Barack Obama begins his first term as president; Vampire Weekend and Passion Pit bump from the newly debuted iPhone; teenagers share confidences and rumors over BlackBerry Messenger and iChat; and the internet as we know it is slowly emerging from its cocoon. So, too, is Foster emerging--a transfer student and anxious young man, Foster is stumbling through adolescence in the wake of his parents' scandalous divorce. But Foster soon finds himself in the company of Annabeth Whittaker and Jack Albright, the twin centers of Kennedy's social gravity, who take him under their wing to navigate the cliques and politics of the carelessly entitled. Eighteen months later, Foster will be expelled, following a tragic scandal that leaves Kennedy and its students irreparably changed. When our nameless narrator inherits Foster's old dorm room, he begins an epic yearslong investigation into what exactly happened. Through interviews with former classmates, Foster's blog posts, playlists, and text archives, and the narrator's own obsessive imagination, a story unfurls--Foster's, yes, but also one that asks us who owns our personal narratives, and how we shape ourselves to be the heroes or villains of our own stories. Foster Dade Explores the Cosmos is about privilege and power, the pitfalls of masculinity and its expectations, and, most distinctly, how we create the mythologies that give meaning to our lives. With his debut novel, Nash Jenkins brilliantly captures the emotional intensities of adolescence in the dizzying early years of the 21st century.

"A New England boarding school whodunit set in the early aughts, Foster Dade unfolds in an unlikely way, including through blog posts and playlists that capture the teen angst of the early internet era, before we were all so intertwined with each other."-- THE BOSTON GLOBE, Best New Books for Summer 2023, Dade's hormone-fueled relationships with classmates and exploration of the pitfalls of masculinity create an engrossing coming of age sequel of sorts to Donna Tartt's The Secret History., A transfer to a New Jersey boarding school falls in with two social heavy hitters and gets expelled. The student who moves into his old dorm room tries to figure out why. This debut novel . . . is a late-aughts period piece -- think BlackBerrys and Vampire Weekend -- with prep-school-scandal bones., Ambitious . . . [A] finely observed account of teen angst and awkward sex in an academically demanding environment marked by privilege and cliques and the cruelty they breed., "Smart, and complex, and poignant."-- CURTIS SITTENFELD (via twitter), New York Times bestselling author of Prep and Romantic Comedy, A New England boarding school whodunit set in the early aughts, Foster Dade unfolds in an unlikely way, including through blog posts and playlists that capture the teen angst of the early internet era, before we were all so intertwined with each other., In this striking debut, Nash Jenkins captures the rarefied world of a New England boarding school with uncanny specificity. But in mining this privileged milieu, Jenkins unearths something universal: An exploration of the teenage tendency to self-mythologize that's funny, heartbreaking, and real., A compelling mystery that uncovers the harmful reaches of privilege, power, and toxic masculinity . . . Jenkins's writing is a joy to read, with plenty of humor and intense emotional reckonings that come with growing up in the early years of the twenty-first century., If Holden Caulfield had been dropped into the Obama era, he might be Foster Dade, the protagonist of Jenkins' exhilarating debut novel . . . [Full] of wit, enriched by social insights about class, masculinity, and adolescence. . . An enduring story of adolescents struggling to find the narratives they wish to tell., In this striking debut, Nash Jenkins captures the rarefied world of an East Coast boarding school with uncanny specificity. But in mining this privileged milieu, Jenkins unearths something universal: An exploration of the teenage tendency to self-mythologize that's funny, heartbreaking, and real.
