Cr�ticas:

"TAMPA is one of the most shocking books I have read; it's also one of the most mesmerizing and surprising. I expected to be disturbed, even appalled; what I did not expect in this story of a female teacher fixated on 14-year-old boys was lyricism and black humor."--Marilyn Dahl, Shelf Awareness

"The writing is often excellent, hilariously dark, and mean...Reading about [Celeste] was honestly disturbing and fun."--Entertainment Weekly

"It's as riveting as it is disturbing."--NewYorkmagazine.com's Vulture

"In this sly and salacious work, Nutting forces us to take a long, unflinching look at a deeply disturbed mind, and more significantly, at society's often troubling relationship with female beauty."--San Francisco Chronicle

"A work of serious ambition, both literary and moral. It's also laced with dark, sometimes savage humor and juicy riffs on consumer culture and its twin obsessions, youth and beauty."--Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Tampa is one of the most shocking books I have read; it's also one of the most mesmerizing and surprising. Alissa Nutting has written a stunning, brutal book."--Shelf Awareness

"Gutsy."--TIME

"Smart and biting."--New York Journal of Books

"A brilliant commentary on sex and society."--Cosmopolitan

"Bold and fascinatingly transgressive...Tampa may be the new American Psycho."--MSN Entertainment

Rese�a del editor:

In Alissa Nutting’s novel Tampa, Celeste Price, a smoldering 26-year-old middle-school teacher in Florida, unrepentantly recounts her elaborate and sociopathically determined seduction of a 14-year-old student.

Celeste has chosen and lured the charmingly modest Jack Patrick into her web. Jack is enthralled and in awe of his eighth-grade teacher, and, most importantly, willing to accept Celeste’s terms for a secret relationship—car rides after dark, rendezvous at Jack’s house while his single father works the late shift, and body-slamming erotic encounters in Celeste’s empty classroom. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress of pure motivation. She deceives everyone, is close to no one, and cares little for anything but her pleasure.

Tampa is a sexually explicit, virtuosically satirical, American Psycho–esque rendering of a monstrously misplaced but undeterrable desire. Laced with black humor and crackling sexualized prose, Alissa Nutting’s Tampa is a grand, seriocomic examination of the want behind student / teacher affairs and a scorching literary debut.
