Only the author of Flaubert's Parrot could give us a novel that is at once a note-perfect rendition of the angsts and attitudes of English adolescence, a giddy comedy of sexual awakening in the 1960s, and a portrait of the accommodations that some of us call "growing up" and others "selling out." From the Trade Paperback edition.

“One thing about parents. They fug you up.”
“Do you think they mean to?”
“They may not. But they do, don‘t they?”
“Yeah, but it‘s not really their fault, is it?”

Sounds like a reference to #philiplarkin‘s #thisbetheverse?
