Fiche livre

'Jennette McCurdy writes sentences that glimmer and cut like razors. With Half His Age, she delivers a deeply felt and humorous tale about the dangers of youth and desire. This novel is uncomfortable, unpredictable, and unputdownable.' **Aria Aber, author of *Good Girl*** 'A riveting examination of lust and self-delusion, and a sly reminder that our worst mistakes can sometimes lead us stumbling toward the light. McCurdy is a fearless and darkly funny writer with an unerring eye for the perfect mortifying detail.' **Tom Perrotta, author of *Election*** **PRAISE FOR *I'M GLAD MY MOM DIED* …** 'Jennette McCurdy is the queen of lemonade from lemons, using her trauma to weave a painfully funny story that also illuminates the commodification of teenage girls in America. An important cultural document just as much as a searingly personal one' **Lena Dunham** “How can a book be so sad and also so funny? It's an art, and Jennette McCurdy has mastered it' **Jenny Lawson, New York Times bestselling author of *Furiously Happy*** 'The number-one *New York Times* -bestselling memoir that has also achieved pop-cultural phenomenon status. McCurdy distinguishes herself from standard-issue celebrity memoir fare with a vivid, biting, darkly comic tone and an immersive present tense' ***Vogue*** “A stunning memoir. McCurdy reveals herself to be a stingingly funny and insightful writer, capable of great empathy and a brutal punchline' ***Time*** 'A coming-of-age story that is alternately harrowing and funny' ***The New York Times*** 'A magnum opus. Sharply funny and empathetic' ***The Washington Post*** 'The publishing sensation that—in short, punchy sentences delivered with a high level of self-perception—could transform the trauma memoir business' ***Guardian***
