Ilustration Conducive To Books All About Lulu

Weakness has always been a concern for William Miller: growing up vegetarian in a family of bodybuilders will do that to a person. But William is further weakened by the death of his mother, the arrival of a new step-mother, and his irrepressible crush on his new step-sister, Lulu. As Lulu faces down her own challenges, William watches his life shift into tumult and despair. Once Lulu departs for college, Will goes into the world to find himself — discovering Western philosophy, a cruel dating world, enduring friendship, and, ultimately, his true calling. Emboldened by his turn as a late-night radio personality, Will rescues himself from the self-image of weakness he'd long wished to escape. This debut novel explores the fundamental difference between where we come from — and the endless possibilities of where we may go.

Judge Appertaining To Books All About Lulu

Jonathan Evison's newest book "All About Lulu" is the one of those brilliant coming of age novels that make you agonize and adore everything about maturity. The story's narrator Will is a characters who is not beautiful or extraordinary. However he is incredibly real and every page in the book has Will slapping the reader in the face or making him fall out of their chair laughing (and occasionally weeping).I was given the book as a gift as I had not heard of it before. I cannot explain how much

A Hornet Sting to the Heart. Put down whatEVER the f**k you are reading now and pick up 'All About Lulu' . . . Last month I attended 'Field's End' a writer's conference on Bainbridge Island at which Evison, the local writer-hero, waxed on hysterically as the conference Launch Speaker. He leaves an impression on you. I was compelled to check out his debut novel, All About Lulu. Originally All About Lulu seemed to be about coming of age, then dysfunctional families, then tangled attractions, then

Evison tells the story of a young boy with a crush, on his step-sister, and how that crush evolves throughout their young lives, for better and worse. Its the story of them and their family, helmed quite vividly by a father competing for various body building trophies over the years. (The Arnold makes an appearance.) Evison handles both the boys perspective on young love and the story of the odd extended family very well. I felt I knew people a lot like the characters in the book. And Evison

There's something almost epic about this book - I'm not sure whether it's the complexity of the relationships central to the book, or just the array of characters you're introduced to, but I kept thinking it was like the literary equivalent of the director's cut of a Wes Anderson film.However, as is my view on most director's cuts, although at times it felt like a glorious technicolour wallow (quite in keeping with the intensity of the obsessional relationship) it went on long enough for the



This debut novel deserves the avalanche of praise it's received. It's crazy but controlled, exhilarating but never exhausting, outrageous but not outlandish, introspective while exhibiting plenty of external life and reach. And Evison, through fictional doppelganger William Miller, displays a blazingly original voice that's hilarious, touching and thoroughly arresting. I don't want to be Will Miller, but I sure as hell want to go bowling with him and listen to him ramble about music and fast

There were some incredibly beautiful and thoughtful lines in this bildungsroman, which was set mostly in the 1980s. Some nostalgic moments were had by moi. Mostly, it was annoyingly repetitive and unnecessarily morose, peopled by characters I truly believed were likeable and colourful, but, the author felt compelled to present them all as unkindly, as darkly, and as bitterly as he could. I could see something sparkling in everyone beneath the deep waters of the depressing narrator, and I just
