Pages for you a novel

A wry, tender novel of sexual and intellectual awakening. Something made her risk a look at the reader, who took a sip of black coffee. And another. She turned the pages. She pursed her lips. Flannery abandoned her breakfast and watched the woman drink her coffee. It wasn't that she wanted the coffee herself. That wasn't it. Rather, she wanted to be the coffee: she envied the dark drink its chance to taste those lips.In a steam-filled diner in a college town, Flannery Jansen catches sight of something more beautiful than she's ever seen: a graduate student, reading. Flannery, a seventeen-year-old, new to everything around her -- college, the East Coast, bodies of literature, and the sexual flurries of student life -- is shocked by her own desire to follow this beauty wherever it takes her. By chance she finds herself enrolled in a class taught by the remote, brilliant older woman; intimidated at first, she gradually becomes Anne Arden's student outside class as well. Whatever the subject -- Baudelaire, lipstick colors -- Flannery proves an eager pupil, until one day she learns more about Anne than she ever wanted to know.A bittersweet, exhilarating, sentimental education, Pages for You confirms Sylvia Brownrigg as "one of the most exuberantly agile minds among younger American writers" (Dan Cryer, Newsday) and is her sexiest, most poignant work to date.

  • "Flannery Jansen, Studentin im ersten Semester, entdeckt in einem Diner beim Campus eine faszinierende Frau, die in ein Buch vertieft ist: Anne Arden, Dozentin für Literaturwissenschaft - apart, selbstbewusst, lebenserfahren. Und in Flannerys Augen die schönste Frau der Welt. Flannery träumt Tag und Nacht von Anne. Sie verzehrt sich nach ihr. Sie geht ihr aus dem Weg. Und will ihr doch nahe sein. Eines Tages fasst sie sich ein Herz und lädt Anne zu einem Drink ein ... Sylvia Brownrigg wuchs in Los Altos, Kalifornien, und Oxford, England, auf und studierte Philosophie in Yale und an der Johns Hopkins University. Sie hat vier Romane und zahlreiche Erzählungen veröffentlicht und wurde unter anderen mit dem Lambda Literary Award ausgezeichnet. Heute lebt Sylvia Brownrigg mit ihrer Familie vorwiegend in Berkeley, Kalifornien, und schreibt regelmässig für The Times, The New York Times, Times Literary Supplement und The Guardian."
