TEENAGER - BUD SMITH KARTONIERT (TB)

Two teenagers  in love and insane  journey across the United States in this Bonnie and
Clyde-like adventure  pursuing a warped American dream  where Elvis is still king and the corn
dog is the backbone of this great country. There is a typo on page 14. Other than that  this
book is perfect. -Bill Callahan He told her he was a one-woman man and she was it for him. Teal
said that was good because he was it for her. It and It. Both of them were It. Kody Rawlee
Green is stuck in juvie. Tella Teal Cartwheels Carticelli is packing her bags for Rome--on the
orders of her parents  who want her as far from Kody as possible. But teenage love is too
strong a force for the obstacles of reality. And the highway beckons. Leaving their abusive
pasts behind them in Jersey  Kody and Teal set off on a cross-country road trip equal parts
self-destruction and self-discovery  making their way  one stolen car at a time  toward bigger
wider  bluer skies. Along the road  of course  there's time to stop at Graceland  classic
diners  a fairgrounds that smells of pony shit and kettle corn  and time for run-ins with
outsize personalities like the reincarnated Grand Canyon tour guide Dead Bob and the spurious
Montana rancher Bill Gold. On their heels  all the while  is Teal's brother  Neil Carticelli 
who's abandoned his post in the navy to rescue the sister he left behind. But does she really
need saving? These all too American tropes find new expression in Bud Smith's own freewheeling
prose-and in Rae Buleri's original illustrations-filling Teenager with humor  poetry  and a joy
that's palpable in every unforgettable sentence. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL
