Product Information
A fiercely vivid collection of stories about troubled California teenagers and misfits--violent and harrowing, from the astonishingly talented actor and artist James Franco. Palo Alto is the debut of a surprising and powerful new literary voice. Written with an immediate sense of place--claustrophobic and ominous--James Franco's collection traces the lives of an extended group of teenagers as they experiment with vices of all kinds, struggle with their families and one another, and succumb to self-destructive, often heartless nihilism. In "Lockheed" a young woman's summer--spent working a dull internship--is suddenly upended by a spectacular incident of violence at a house party. In "American History" a high school freshman attempts to impress a girl during a classroom skit with a realistic portrayal of a slave owner--only to have his feigned bigotry avenged. In "I Could Kill Someone," a lonely teenager buys a gun with the aim of killing his high school tormentor, but begins to wonder about his bully's own inner life. These linked stories, stark, vivid, and disturbing, are a compelling portrait of lives on the rough fringes of youth.

Reviews
âThe stories are raw and funny-sad, and they capture with perfect pitch the impossible exhilaration, the inevitable downbeat-ness, and the pure confusion of being an adolescent.â Elle, âThese rough messages torn from the notebook of angry youth just make us want to ask James Franco to say it ainât so. These angular stories read like dispatches from the edge of civilization: all the young people hurting and denying it, denying connection, denying their hope for anything but tonight, the next thing. James Franco does not blink as he offers us these stories -- and it is hard for us to look away.â Ron Carlson, author of The Signal, "Franco's stories are impressive: crisp, spare, depressing…. A collection of beautifully written stories."-Kirkus, starred review, âJames Franco is a writer of skill and sensitivity whose depiction of cruelty and neglect, of amusement and loneliness, of longing and being lost--of the pains and chaos of adolescence--is original and impressive. He manages to depict the numbingly stupid and dangerous behavior of teenagers and make it amazingly amusing then suddenly deeply sad.â-- Susan Minot, author of Rapture, "Franco's stories are impressive: crisp, spare, depressing…. A collection of beautifully written stories."-Kirkus, starred review, "[Franco] Makes the Difficult Appear Simple, Which only a Good Writer Can Do. Booklist, "Startling and Original."-- the Economist, "Franco's talent is unmistakable, his ambition profound. He has taken the twin subjects of suburban Palo Alto and American adolescence and made them as scary and true as they must be. This is a book to be inhaled more than once, with delight and admiration, with unease and pure enjoyment. As a writer, he's here to stay."-Gary Shteyngart, author ofAbsurdistanandSuper Sad True Love Story, 'James Franco's chilling stories seem too true for comfort. The characters in Palo Altonavigate off a moral compass so smashed they bruise everything they touch. Franco's intense artistry swarms all over this gripping book. Think Bret Easton Ellis, Dennis Cooper, Kathy Acker. Or better yet, just think James Franco.' Ben Marcus, author of Notable American Women, "[Franco] ends up perfectly mirroring the undulations of a teenage mind."- The New York Times Book Review, “James Franco’s California teenagers are too old for camp, but not too young for guns (a boy riding his bike to pick up a gun says, ‘I rode fast and the air on my face was like riding through cold ghosts’). The casual cruelty of children escalates as kids strike out against everything that is more powerful than they are. It’s the harsh humor that surprises in these storiesthat and the observations that show James Franco to be an original and simpatico voice finely tuned to the territory. These quotable, unsettling stories stay with you; they seem to change the ions in a room.â€�-- Amy Hempel, "Spare and riveting… Franco's ear for juvenile vernacular is like an Ouija board summoning the lost voices of Generation Z."O, the Oprah Magazine, "Spare and riveting'Š Franco's ear for juvenile vernacular is like an Ouija board summoning the lost voices of Generation Z."O, the Oprah Magazine, âFrancoâs stories are impressive: crisp, spare, depressing&.
