Colors Insulting to Nature

Description

Like any healthy, red-blooded American, young Liza Normal wants to be famous. Like “people will see me and cry” famous. She lacks only talent. . . . Colors Insulting to Nature is a scaldingly hilarious coming-of-age novel, savage on the exterior but with a heart as tender as a marshmallow chick. It is a remarkable comic debut.
