A dozen high school students in a theatre elective find themselves stuck with a substitute teacher for a month. As they recite Shakespeare from a safe distance, the teacher abruptly interrupts their rehearsal. In an age where young people hide their emotions behind a mask, their heads either too high or too low, the question of intimacy becomes increasingly inescapable.

The murderous exploits of Florence Rey and Audry Maupin, a young couple who terrorized the capital for a single evening in the 1990s.

How do you cope with the struggles of modern day manhood? Who do you go to when you are in doubt? How do you know if you should choke your girlfriend?

Bobby Nazebroque is a debut novel about addiction and the difficult reconciliation with the child we once were. Disarmingly vulnerable, humorous, and tender, it describes in a surgical yet poetic way the daily life of a hypersensitive and lonely young man, between shrink appointments and search for his one true love. A Holden Caulfield for millennials.
