"Green Girl" is "The Bell Jar" for today--an existential novel about Ruth, a young American in London, kin to Jean Seberg gamines and contemporary celebutantes.

"Green Girl" is about that important and frightening and exhilarating period of being adrift and screwing up, a time when drunken hook-ups and infatuations, nervous breakdowns, and ecstatic epiphanies are the order of the day.
