Going Too Fast

Meer over het boek

This collection of short stories and flash fiction takes the reader back to the 1960's and '70's, and the adolescence and early adulthood of women during that era. Catholic school, teenage rebellion, sex and drugs and rock and roll--all find their way into these interlocking stories of "good Catholic girls" in a time of social and political upheaval, the breaking down of old traditions and the making of new ones. Readers may find themselves unable to put the book down, as one story folds into the next. Viti's prose is graceful yet unadorned, in the tradition of Hemingway and Ferrante.
