About this product
Product Information
Matthew Acciaccatura of Teaneck, New Jersey, begins his freshman year at NYU in the fall of 1995 with one goal in mind: to become cool. A former high school outcast, used to lumbering the hallways alone in oversize turtlenecks, Matt seems an unlikely candidate for such a transformation. Yet by dint of effort he lands the coveted position of promoter at one of the hottest clubs in New York in the heyday of rave music and Ecstasy. However, as "Magic" Matt rises to fame, portents of tragedy begin to appear, literally in the margins of the story. Footnotes from one Dr. Hans Mannheim, an imprisoned German academic obsessed with Matt's dangerous trajectory, suggest that Matt is not as in control of his destiny as he might appear.... A gorgeously written archetypal tale of self-discovery (and self-deception) and a love letter to the enduring possibilities of New York City , The Answer Is Always Yes will keep readers guessing until its explosive climax.

Reviews
"Here is a brainy, heartfelt, continuously inventive novel on a theme we know very well from life and hardly at all from fiction: the wish to be cool. It's impossible not to assent to The Answer is Always Yes ."Benjamin Kunkel, author of Indecision "From the smoke and mirrors of the New York club scene emerges Magic Matt, the Jay Gatsby of his generation. This painfully unpopular young man's fierce determination to reinvent himself as the hippest kid at NYU is, by turns, darkly comic and profoundly tragic. The Answer Is Always Yes is a stellar coming-of-age novel with a nifty, sinister postmodern twist. And it's a terrific read; an eloquent page-turner. How's that for some kind of wonderful?"Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of An Almost Perfect Moment , and A Disturbance In One Place "Fierce and wildly originalMonica Ferrell is a thrilling new voice."Nick Flynn, author of Bullshit Night in Suck City "Packed with poetry and humor, this dazzlingly written first novel unearths the sorrow behind that strange American sickness, the pursuit of cool. Like the city they eulogize, Ferrell's sentences teem with beauty and ambitionyou want to linger at every turn."Eric Puchner, author of Music Through the Floor "A pyrotechnic debut.... The protagonist and prose recall the Richard Farina/Tom Robbins school of writing." Kirkus Reviews "Exquisite...[Ferrell's] exuberant narration evokes her likable protagonist's world." New Yorker "Irresistibly readable, Ferrell's first novel is a triumph not only of setting but also of voice, tone, and attitude...Gorgeously written, beautifully imagined, and wonderfully spot-on." Booklist , starred review "Ferrell is a good writer who understands hipster anxiety and the aspirations that New York manufactures with every generation."

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
