Locus Amoenus

ebook

"Imagine Muriel Barbery's The Elegance of the Hedgehog, written from the point of view of an American teen. Imagine Shakespeare's Hamlet in post 9/11 America...[whose] voice carries the cruel dismissal of an awkward teen, making his humor more serious and sharp than might be expected at times in this dark tragi-comedy...But Hamlet's fury at his mother's impending remarriage is wholly believable, even if his descent into madness might be as pretended as his name...Darkly humorous, harshly compelling, and cruelly relentless." –Sheila's Reviews
