Youth In Revolt by Cd Payne

Youth In Revolt by Cd Payne

The hilarious, take-no-prisoners novel about a cynical, sex-obsessed teenager's pining love for an intelligent girl-the basis for the major motion picture starring Michael Cera.

Youth in Revolt is the journals of Nick Twisp, California's most precocious diarist, whose ongoing struggles to make sense out of high school, deal with his divorced parents, and lose his virginity result in his transformation from an unassuming fourteen-year-old to a modern youth in open revolt. As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block all routes out of town, Nick must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, the gulag of the public schools, a competitive type-A father, murderous canines, and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response-all while vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders, teenage goddess, and ultimate intellectual goad.

California writer C.D. Payne is the author of over a dozen humorous novels that have won a large cult following around the world. His best-known work, Youth in Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp, was the basis of a 2010 film. From Weinstein Films, it starred Michael Cera, Steve Buscemi, Justin Long, Ray Liotta, and Jean Smart. Besides Miracle in a Can (just published), Payne's recent novels include Revolt at the Beach (book 8 in the Twisp series) and Cheeky Swimsuits of 1957. The latter is the story of a young Yale grad (class of '57) who wants to be a filmmaker, but winds up in Ukiah running a small company that makes bathing suits for women with problem figures. Payne has made two trips to the Czech Republic and Slovakia where his novels are immensely popular. He is a native of Ohio (born in 1949 in Akron) and a graduate of Harvard College.
