| Publisher Description: Like any healthy, red-blooded American, young Liza Normal wants to be famous. Like people will see me and cry famous. She lacks only talent. . . . Colors Insulting to Nature is a scaldingly hilarious coming-of-age novel, savage on the exterior but with a heart as tender as a marshmallow chick. It is a remarkable comic debut. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more. |
