Joyce C. Oates: Big Mouth and Ugly Girl, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Kurzbeschreibung

Matt Donaghy is the class joker and Ursula Riggs is the misfit loner. Neither knows the other. But when Matt is arrested on a charge of threatening to blow up the school and massacre the students, Ursula is the only one who sees through the hysteria and hypocrisy, and corroborates Matt's story.

Klappentext

'Matt Donaghy has always been a big mouth'

But its never got him into trouble - until one day when two detectives escort him out of class for questioning. The charge? Matt has been accused of threatening to blow up Rocky River High School.

'Ursula Riggs has always been an ugly girl'

She has no time for petty high-school stuff like friends and dating. Ursula is content with minding her own business. And she doesn't even really know Matt Donaghy.

But Ursula knows injustice when she sees it

And she's not afraid to speak out.

'Every single Oates novel I've read has added to my conviction that she is a genius.'

Julie Myerson, 'Independent on Sunday'
