Description
In some ways reminiscent of the best-selling "Twelve" by Nick McDonell, this stream-of-consciousness novel of love and alienation among the children of the Paris upper class was written by a seventeen year-old first-time author with a remarkable talent and an evocative first name. It is the story of a "ritch bitch" from the "pink generation" -- who spends more money in a week than most people make in a year -- and her drugged-up, champagned-up friends struggling to make some kind of human contact in the ice-cold materialist world they inherited from Daddy and Mommy. Readers travel at break-neck speed through a Paris never seen in tourist guides--the after-hours clubs; weekends in Monaco by private jet, and dreary, endless morning-after depression. The strange thing is, throughout the bleak and egocentric world she creates, Lolita Pille manages to emotionally draw the reader one step at a time to the novel's shocking climax, where youth and the dream of immortality come roughshod onto the concretewall of real life.
