Youth in Revolt (2009)

I found some interesting photos of Apurva with her friends in India. They are lounging about in rattan chairs on some sort of exotic-looking veranda. It’s hard to believe an entire country exists on the other side of the world. As I write this, millions of oddly dressed people are going about in an alien landscape, speaking strange languages, and engaging in foreign activities. Yet one of the girls in the photo is holding a cat that would not be out of place in an American back yard. And another one is having a secret tryst in the California boondocks with an American windsurfing fanatic. We really do live in one world.

Why does this society hold so steadfastly to the fiction that its children are asexual?

Why are the jobs offered to youths so cripplingly boring? You’d think the gods of capitalism would give us the interesting jobs. Then, when we’re safely shackled into the system with marriages and mortgages, they could turn the tedium up full blast. Nope, we’re immediately abandoned, naked and defenseless, on the icy tundra of ennui - and paid peanuts for our suffering to boot.

The way I figure it, a quarter of my lifetime I was a drooling, preconscious vegetable. Another quarter I was functionally illiterate. OK, now I’m a bright seven-year-old and my idea of great literature is Bucky Beaver Builds a Dam. So say it takes three more years to work my way out of the children’s section. Four years remain. Now subtract one-third for sleep. In the few remaining months I have to go to school, do my homework, eat, get haircuts, watch TV, play video games, mow the lawn, have interminable father-son bonding experiences, squeeze zits, and ponder the mysteries of sex. Is it any wonder I haven’t read Dostoevsky? Thank God I’m not athletic, I’d still be a total moron.

I am miserable. Plunged from exaltation to suicidal depression in one sunny afternoon. My only diversion from black despair is the bracing contemplation of more and more violently disfiguring deaths for the pining Poet of the Redwoods. As he is older, taller, better-looking, and more accomplished than I, he must die. The gods demand it.

I just found out CD Payne released two more Twisp novels and I am surprised that I missed both and excited to obtain them!
Consider, if you will, the morning boner. What a metaphor of hope and renewal! How can anyone give way to despair when one’s groin greets each day with such a gala spectacle of physical optimism?
