“I love stories about friendship, particularly those in which friendship is recalled under a nostalgic haze...I found the whole thing quite lovely...Stuart knows how to cut the pathos with some sharp wit.”—Daniel Goldin of Boswell Book Company for National Public Radio After being expelled from a prestigious Manhattan boys' school, Arthur McDougal is sent to the Spooner School, influenced by Christian Science, in Connecticut. There, he meets Katrina Felt, the troubled daughter of a Hollywood star. As Arthur navigates his sexuality, Katrina’s talent earns her a role in a Broadway musical, and they develop a tender friendship. However, while Arthur gains confidence, Katrina is weighed down by her past's heartbreaking secrets. By the end of the year, their lives will be irrevocably changed, and their friendship will come to an end. Set in the late 1960s, this narrative offers a vivid portrait of the era, filled with drugs, sex, Andy Warhol, and a cast of memorable secondary characters, all delivered through sharp and humorous dialogue. Sebastian Stuart has a diverse writing background, including novels, plays, and screenplays. His previous work, ghostwritten with acknowledgment, achieved notable success on The New York Times bestseller list. A native New Yorker, he currently resides in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with fellow novelist Stephen McCauley.
