...nonfiction and three previous novels, including Everything You Need (1999). Yet she still features on those media-friendly lists of British young bloods to watch out for, and reviewers still struggle to pin her down; Kennedy harvests and grades their comments on her website and is particularly fond of an early one accusing her of "making misery tedious." Hannah Luckraft's misery is making her drink herself to death: Paradise opens in hell, in the kind of hangover that is most quickly cured by getting drunk again. Her career - "something in cardboard" - is hanging by a thread, her grasp...

...hard for me to say because it is also a [person's] way of thinking that has elegance to it. I liked Samuel Beckett. [He had] a true elegance. I am really fond of music, and rock music in particular--Paul Weller [in] the Jam period, Bowie [in] the Thin White Duke period. But this is already somehow a "fashion" idea of style.

We looked at a public school and decided to send her to a place where Miss Clavel is still in charge and children proceed in quiet lines into the building covered with vines, and of course, my daughter loves it there. Like most other kids, she is fond of order and rules and schedules. It's just like my old Sunnyvale School, a quiet pond of books and pen and paper. But a parent stands on a precipice. Adolescence looms ahead, which nowadays can begin at around the age of 8. Drug dealers lurk in the alley; nihilist rock...

...doubt the very fact that I am a protester makes it easy for you to write me off as an “extremist”—a term your campaign seems fond of affixing to opponents these days. As a college student in Cambridge I, admittedly, fit the stereotype. But I am also a voter from the key swing state of Arizona, and I live in a congressional district which has voted for the same Republican since 1984.
