ROVETO, Vanessa
THE VALLEY a void

World-weary nineteen-year-old Madeline works part-time at Whole Foods and spends the rest of the time thinking her ‘important little thoughts’, as her mother calls them. Her wildly isolated life uncannily mirrors that of disgraced poetry professor, Victoria. On converging paths, these desperately sad but hysterically funny heroines blunder through a landscape of grief, self-loathing, love, and pharmaceuticals. [publisher's note]
