JACKET DESIGN: Lawrence Ratzkin. SYNOPSIS: White Kids is Michael Wolff's tenderly absurd account of what came after the sixties were gone. The conservatism, the nostalgia, the malaise, the hoping against all hope for a little style and love. In this extraordinary portrait of a generation, we understand in an altogether new way what it means to be free, white and 21. There is Angel, who has had the dubious distinction of kidnapping Patty Hearst; and Brandon, a beautiful young man who might have been the biggest star of his generation except he wasn't ambitious enough. We learn of the strange, sad fate of a brother and sister in San Francisco searching for all the old glamour that isn't there anymore. We follow John and Margaret, the sweetest couple in the world, on their honeymoon in Florida. And, although this is a book about peacetime, it ends with a war scene and Lt. Alexander Terhune, who is indisputably a nice guy. They are all nice people who will break your heart, and through them we understand what it is to be white in white America. Michael Wolff's work has appeared in many newspapers and magazines. He was born in 1953 and grew up in a small town outside New York. His first job in journalism was as a copyboy for The New York Times. He now lives in Manhattan. This is his first book.
