Bad Haircut

Bad Haircut

The literary debut from the author of &#39;Little Children&#39;, &#39;Election&#39; and &#39;The Abstinence Teacher&#39;.<br /> <br /> <br /> Tom Perrotta&#39;s first novel takes readers to semi-fictional &#39;Cranwood&#39;, in small-town New Jersey. Set between fall 1969 and the summer of 1980, &#39;Bad Haircut&#39; consists of ten tales; reflecting a coming-of-age in the &#39;kitsch&#39; era of platforms and disco.<br /> <br /> <br /> The novel charts the struggles of a boy called Buddy with the timeless mysteries of sex, death, parents - and, of course, bad haircuts - as he grows from Cub Scout to college kid. A touching collection of tales, &#39;Bad Haircut&#39; is Perrotta&#39;s perfect observation of the tribulations and tenderness of adolescence.
