|comment= In my time they didn't do books like that for teenagers, not really. I am not sure if it was such a loss, as the world of supposedly grown up literature is full of books like that: infuriating to adults but immensly appealing to teenagers and what you would deem Very Young Adults (but this demographic seems to sometimes stretch to about 30).
One of my favourite ones was stream-of-consciousness, vague-musings around subjects, no-action but uber-cool gay love story by an experimental poet called 'Czech Jewellery'. Ouch. It was awful. I loved it.
I fear I am old... No, actually I am glad and smug. I never thought that the state of perpetual teenagedom is something to aspire too. I think this is why I am out of touch with modern culture.
