Where You'll Find Me by Ann Beattie

Where You'll Find Me by Ann Beattie. 1986 Linden Press/Simon Schuster, first edition, 191 pages. Beattie is an award-winning American author. In a review in the New York Times for her novel Falling in Place: "Her fiction has none of the usual gimmicks and attractions that create a cult: it's not conspicuously witty or bizarre or sexy or politically defiant or eventful; in fact, it offers so colorless and cool a surface, so quiet a voice, that it's sometimes hard to imagine readers staying with it. Her subject matter, too, is deliberately banal: she chronicles the random coming and goings of disaffected young people who work in dull jobs or drop out, and spend a lot of time doing and feeling practically nothing except that low-grade depression Christopher Lasch has called the characteristic malaise of our time." Condition: VG "Usually she was the artist. Today she was the model."
