Election Paperback - 1998
by Tom Perrotta
In one of the funniest, most insightful, most surprisingly touching novels of recent times, Perrotta "captures the texture of high-school life in a refreshingly unromantic manner" ("Time Out New York"). Soon to be a major motion picture from MTV Films and Paramount, starring Matthew Broderick.
Summary
Tammy's upset because her secret, forbidden love has been lured away...by her own brother. Tracy's upset because losing this election might screw up her college chances. Mr. M.'s upset because ever since he embarked on his own extramarital affair, his life's been falling apart. As for Paul, well, he's not sure what's going on.
The whole idea was to educate the students at this suburban New Jersey school in the democratic process and the American way. But with all sex scandals, smear campaigns, and behind-the-scenes power brokers at Winwood High, it doesn't look as if they need any lessons...
First line
ALL I EVER WANTED to do was teach.
