Аннотация

The critically acclaimed novel from a master of contemporary American fiction — now available as an ebook
Yglesias’s debut novel of youth, privilege, and rebellion
Rafael Yglesias completed this novel, his first, at the age of sixteen. The largely autobiographical story follows a New York prep school dropout yearning for freedom and authenticity.
On its release the book was hailed as a next-generation Catcher in the Rye. But protagonist Raul Sabas comes of age in a very different New York than Holden Caulfield — a tumultuous and radicalized city following the student takeover of Columbia University and assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. Hide Fox, and All After is a story of adolescence written by an adolescent — deeply felt and commanding the remarkably perceptive eye that distinguishes Yglesias as a great novelist.
This ebook features a new illustrated biography of Rafael Yglesias, including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.
Review
“Comparisons with The Catcher in the Rye are inevitable… [But] Yglesias’s tone… is completely his own… A superior novel.”
—Time
“An extremely gifted young writer whose treatment of adolescence… is shockingly brilliant.”
—John Hawkes
