Title: Nineties
Description: "NINETIES is a brief novel about credit card fraud, the end of the 20th century, and the precarious lives of young girls. Set in Manhattan in the mid-1990s, it uses visually precise language to describe the casual descent into crime of three friends; their sexual exploits; the television and celebrity culture of the time; shopping ... A deceptively simple and clear-eyed look at adolescence at the dawn of American hypercapitalism, NINETIES is a cautionary tale, rendered in lucid prose; a narrative of innocence and experience and the intoxicating nature of first friendships."--Author's website.
