Abstract
(type = abstract)
My Thesis is a novel about Agnes, an 10-year-old girl who is a compulsive liar. The story is set in New Hampshire at an elite overnight camp. While haunted by her life at home where her emotionally absent father and aggressively unhappy mother seem to have conspired to forget Agnes’ recently deceased brother, Agnes believes that camp will give her an opportunity to remake herself. Unfortunately, the person she would like to become is her counselor, Ari, an unhinged sexually promiscuous 17-year-old girl on the verge of making some very large mistakes. Inimitable, hopelessly hopeful, angry and abandoned and yearning for love, Agnes can be seen as an amalgam of characters like Carson McCuller’s Frankie in The Member of the Wedding, Louis Fitzhugh’s Harriet in Harriet the Spy, and Arundhati Roy’s Rahel in The God of Small Things.
