	Amazon.com: American Youth: A Novel: Books: Phil Lamarche (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		American Youth is the story of a deeply conflicted boy who struggles with the consequences of his role in a tragic firearms incident in his home.
		American Youth is a revealing portrait of an outsider who is fighting emotional and physical battles with himself on terrain that LaMarche convincingly and daringly explores.
		American Youth is one of those novels that seems to touch a chord with its readers--summing up all that hasn't been said about a culture and bringing to light a dirty secret...

	Novel: A Forum on Fiction: On voice
		Novel theory diverges sharply from narrative theory when it comes to understanding the novel's relation to the folktale and other popular fiction, such as romances or detective novels.
		The tendency of novel theory to define the novel as a genre that is sui generis does lead to certain impasses and quandaries, whether in the theory of the novel as such or of a subgenre like the Bildungsroman.
		The novel theorist ties the interpretation of the literary form to a particular historical and philosophical understanding of the salient features of modern society and culture; inevitably, the evaluation of the form has to exclude or devalue certain works and tendencies.

	A RAW YOUTH
		Although the central position in the novel is surrendered to Versilov in the final section, the reader views the events and characters of all three sections through the eyes of Arkady.
		Throughout the novel one is aware of Arkady's gradual, painful, and confusing change from a resentful adolescent into a balanced, optimistic young man. The climax of this development is Arkady's recognition of the double within himself, two aspects of the same personality often working at cross purposes.
		In this novel the chaos is represented by two ideas which seem to be at opposite ends of the spectrum: a selfish goal (Arkady's desire to be a Rothschild) and a selfless goal (Versilov's paradise without God).

	A history of Youth in Revolt
		A month later he received a five-page letter (click to read the letter) saying his novel was unsaleable and advising that it be abandoned.
		Meanwhile, Payne's novel had been making the rounds in Hollywood, where it was considered at one time or another by many different studios.
		Then Youth in Revolt was in development as a mini-series for MTV, but one of the chief writers on the project died tragically in a boating accident--reportedly on the day he completed the pilot for the show (which never made it on the air).

	Scott Meredith letter
		And in the novel there is the picaresque or bildungsroman format in which the lead, an unformed but highly individuated and accessible protagonist, is followed through a series of interrelated and inventive episodes toward a state of self-enlightenment; this self-enlightenment must be resonant, and must be fully predicated upon the preceding elements of the work.
		than an organized novel; it is an episodic work in which some of the episodes (like that car-wrecking, trailer-wrecking sequence toward the end) are quite successful, some are not (like the byplay with the father's girlfriend), but none of them can be said to have moved beyond sheer compilation of experience.
		Ultimately, YOUTH IN REVOLT fails to be other than a construction; the problems of plotting, voice and conceptualization are so severe as to take this irreparably out of market range and, due to their pervasiveness, render revision or reworking of any kind absolutely impossible.

	Scriptorium - Philip K. Dick
		The novel is colored by the manic and paranoid political atmosphere of California during the Nixon years, and in many ways serves as an elaborate counter-culture response to Watergate.
		The novel gave Dick the chance to reflect upon the pain, sadness and religious pleasure of death, perhaps as a form of therapy after a decade of watching several close friends die.
		This is how Dick himself lived his life, as witnessed by his huge Exegesis, in which he meticulously psychoanalyzed himself, his novels and his dreams, and tried to interpret the fragments of reality presented to him by VALIS as they threaded their way through his haunted life.

		The first, "Waiting for the Barbarians" was a novel about societies whereas "Youth" is a novel about an individual.
		"Youth" tells the story of a young man of university age who sensed that his future as a writer in his native South Africa is hopeless.
		The strength of "Youth", for me, is the author's ability to bring us such a candid view of an obsessed life and leave us wondering how we would have done things different.

		Through the novel, the youth is fighting in the bloodiest war on American soil and the war that caused the most casualties per capita of any U.S. war.
		This passage is also typical because it all occurs in the youth’s mind, just like much of the novel, although the youth’s thoughts are not in quotes: a convention of the time period.
		The youth in The Red Badge of Courage is brave in the face of death, while youths of today lack fear of death simply because we don’t think that death could strike us.

		However, it is not possible to argue that the reaction of the youth to a particular socio-cultural moment represents the reaction of the whole of the working-class.
		Yet, youth subcultures are the most tangible forms by which the youth express their response to the society at different historical moments (Clarke et al 16).
		The novel suggests that it is not the youth that is to be blamed for drug abuse, but the dominant culture, and also that drug abuse is not the solution for the youth, but in fact, a part of the problem.

	The Guardian: "On Novel Reading" (1820) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The youthful intellect requires relaxation from a close attention to literary acquisitions: and to relieve the wearisomeness of such attention, books of amusement are generally sought, and read with avidity.
		Important then is it, that impressions made during the tender impressible years of childhood and youth, should be such as shall tend to prepare, rather than unfit the mind for respectability, real enjoyment, and permanent usefulness in riper years.
		The argument used by many in favour of novel reading, is that novels display character, describe men and manners, depict the human heart, and make youth acquainted with the world.

	Youth by J.M. Coetzee
		The narrator of Youth, a student in the South Africa of the 1950s, has long been plotting an escape from his native country: from the stifling love of his mother, from a father whose failures haunt him, and from what he is sure is impending revolution.
		Studying mathematics, reading poetry, saving money, he tries to ensure that when he arrives in the real world, wherever that may be, he will be prepared to experience life to its full intensity, and transform it into art.
		Set against the background of the 1960s - Sharpeville, the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam - Youth is a remarkable portrait of a consciousness, isolated and adrift, turning in on itself.

	Blogcritics.org: Youth in Revolt - by C.D. Payne
		The novel follows a traditional "quest" narrative (Nick's seemingly fruitless endeavors to lose his virginity) though a series of increasingly improbable and outlandish scenarios.
		The humor in the novel is derived not from irony or sarcasm, but from character and dialogue.
		While sometimes painfully infused with many failings common to first novels, the freshness of the narrator's voice and the unapologetic approach to the sheer ridiculousness of the plot propel the reader from one chapter to the next with reckless abandon.

		It's true that ‘Misspent Youth’ won't be a key reference point for future fictional examinations of aging as it simply doesn't offer anything new on the topic.

	Did Lynne Cheney really write a racy novel in her youth?
		Over at whitehouse.org (which is not the website of the whitehouse), there's a page describing a novel, titled Sisters, written by the notoriously prudish Lynne Cheney back in 1981.
		This must have been in Lynne's wilder days because the book is apparently a sexy tale set on the American frontier involving brothels, attempted rapes, and lesbian love affairs.
		But then I found it listed on Amazon (no copies are available, but some of the reader comments are quite amusing).
