Half His Age

Waldo, a sharp-tongued seventeen-year-old, becomes fixated on her married creative writing teacher, Mr. Korgy, seeing him as the only person capable of truly understanding her. As she navigates a life marked by a neglectful mother and a hollow culture of consumerism, her pursuit of this inappropriate relationship leads to a raw exploration of power and desire. The novel serves as a provocative and darkly humorous study of a young woman's desperate search for love and visibility.
