Description

Winner of the 2002 Lambda Literary AwardIn a vapor-packed restaurant in an university towm, Flannery Jansen catches sight of anything more lovely than she is ever seen: a graduate student, reading. The seventeen-year-old, the East Coast, a new comer to evrything around her—college, systems of literature, and the erotic flurries of pupil life—is surprised by her need to follow this wherever it'll get her. When Flannery sees himself signed up for a-class with distant, amazing older lady, she's discouraged in the beginning, but progressively becomes Anne Ardenis student—Baudelaire, lipstick shades, or just how to travel with a lover—Flannery demonstrates an eager student, till oneday discovers more about Anne than she actually desired to understand.
