Mister Posterior and the Genius Child Paperback - 2002
by Emily Jenkins
Woodstock was over. The Beatles had just broken up. "Sesame Street" was new. And people in Cambridge, Massachusetts, were getting in touch with their feelings.

In this absurdly funny and tender novel from a brilliant new voice in fiction, a now-grown Vanessa looks back on a time that was less innocent than it seemed.
