About the Book

Portraying the disenchantment of the American youth after the hippie movement, this novel narrates the story of Charles, a young man hopelessly in love with a married woman, of his unemployed friend Sam, of his Hypochondriac of a mother, Clara, who spends her days depressed and soaking in her bathtub, of his stepfather Tod, and of his sister Susan. Beattie uses pop music, movies, and other cultural elements to discuss universal themes such as unrequited love, disillusionment at work, and family relationships with a good dose of irony. What could be read as an entertaining situational comedy becomes an acute perspective on a generation that refuses to abandon its youthful idealism and submit to society s rules."Retratando el desencanto de la juventud americana posterior al movimiento "hippie," esta novela narra la historia de Charles, un joven perdidamente enamorado de una mujer casada; de su amigo Sam, eterno parado; de Clara, su hipocondriaca madre que se pasa el dia deprimida en la banera; de Tod, su padrastro; y de Susan, su hermana. La musica pop, el cine y otros elementos de la cultura popular le sirven a Beattie para tratar con ironia temas tan universales como el amor no correspondido, la insatisfaccion laboral o las relaciones familiares. Lo que podria leerse como una divertida comedia de situacion se convierte en una aguda mirada sobre una generacion que se resiste a abandonar el idealismo de su juventud y a someterse a las normas que imperan en la sociedad.""
