A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Gurion has been expelled from three Jewish day-schools for acts of violence and messianic tendencies. He ends up in the Cage, a special lockdown program for the most hopeless cases at his new junior high school. But in just four days, from the moment he meets the beautiful Eliza June Watermark to the terrifying Events of November 17, Gurion's search for righteousness sparks a violent, unstoppable rebellion. Driven equally by moral fervour and teenage exuberance, The Instructions is hilarious, troubling, empathetic, monumental, breakneck, romantic and unforgettable.

Revue de presse

Mammoth, marvellous . . . Hysterically funny and giddyingly imagined, this is a novel of serious intent . . . Levin is both fascinated by violence and fascinating about it. --Scotsman

Adam Levin's book is the real thing, I think. It appeals to the young readers who like formal invention and ambition . . . But there's also real substance there --Dave Eggers

Evocative of David Foster Wallace . . . full of death-defying sentences, manic wit, exciting provocations and simple human warmth. --Rolling Stone
