Booksmith is thrilled to host our own Brittany Newell for the launch of her spectacular debut novel, Oola. Please join us!
Oola is a mind-bendingly original novel about the way that -- particularly in the changeable, unsteady just-post-college years -- sex, privilege, desire, and creativity can bend, blur, and break. In a novel that reads like the wicked love child ofAmerican Psycho and Lolita, Brittany Newell bursts into the literary world with a narrative as twisted and fresh as it is addicting.
---
"Newell nails the lure, intoxication, and fallout of obsessive love (and its subsequent madness) that somehow seems a mandatory requirement of growing up." -- Elle
---
Brittany Newell, who often writes and performs under the nom de plume Ratty St. John, will graduate from Stanford in 2017. She has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and is the winner of the Norman Mailer Award for Fiction. Oola is her first book.
