2011., Adult, Alfred A. Knopf Canada Call No: Fic Eug Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Madeleine Hanna was the dutiful English major who didn't get the memo. While everyone else in the early 1980s was reading Derrida, she was happily absorbed with Jane Austen and George Eliot. Madeleine was the girl who dressed a little too nicely for the taste of her more bohemian friends, the perfect girlfriend whose college love life, despite her good looks, hadn't lived up to expectations. But now, in the spring of her senior year, Madeleine has enrolled in a semiotics course "to see what all the fuss is about," and, for reasons that have nothing to do with school, life and literature will never be the same. Not after she falls in love with Leonard Morten -- charismatic loner, college Darwinist and lost Oregon boy -- who is possessed of seemingly inexhaustible energy and introduces her to the ecstasies of immediate experience. And certainly not after Mitchell Grammaticus -- devotee of Patti Smith and Thomas Merton -- resurfaces in her life, obsessed with the idea that Madeleine is destined to be his mate. The triangle in this novel about a generation beginning to grow up is age old, and completely fresh and surprising.
