A groundbreaking, genre-defining, literary work of Art.
Mixed first-person narrative storytelling, the story of a young writer, living in Isla Vista, who sets out to write a book; and to understand life & love in the craziness of the Postmodern Condition.
Legit and so lit!
A profound coming-of-age story about a freshman film studies student in Santa Barbara, who finds love, and learns about life, sex, drugs, and the philosophy of Postmodernism. A fun, fanciful, fictional autobiography and mixed perspective story centered on a young author who sets out to write his first book. He decides he needs to live a good story to write a good story; and he must learn the literary world for his book to be great. This desire to learn and live a good story sets him and his friends on a spiritual journey of revelry, reverie, and self-discovery in a magical place called IV (Isla Vista).
