Hangsaman
A thoroughly modern take on the coming-of-age story.
Natalie is a young girl with an active inner life – active to the point where she has to work to keep the people around her and the people in her mind separate. When she leaves home for an all-girls dorm at a liberal arts college, things only get more confused.
Told from the perspective of a narrator who may or may not be Natalie, Hangsaman is a brilliant fusion of the bildungsroman and gothic traditions with an entirely twentieth century sensibility.
