Uncorrected proof. 8vo. 225pp. Printed wraps.
Author's debut novel. A young, rich and famous Manhattanite is frantically filling the void at the centre of her life with a high-voltage cocktail of designer people, designer labels and designer drugs. By the author of The Social Climber's Handbook: A novel (2011), and Girl [Maladjusted]: True Stories from a Semi-Celebrity Childhood (2006).
"Normal Girl is a searing, bitchy, funny novel about privilege in wretched excess and the accidental nature of grace – a fin de siècle East Coast Less Than Zero from the female point of view. Molly Jong-Fast is a prodigy. Parents everywhere should be horrified by this deeply impressive debut." –Jay McInerney
