This famous coming-of-age novel moves from Manhattan through the start of Mad Men to the swinging, chaotic 1970s: A very sensitive gal burdened with her mother's drinking and long string of husbands becomes a special young woman when her best friend's family opens her eye to artwork Esme Vocalist is a resilient gal from Los Angeles, not used to Manhattan, who needs better care of her beautiful, alcoholic mom than her mom does indeed of her. A previous fashion model and extra in the films, her mother draws in some husbands and boyfriends as Esme watches in fascination and sometimes horror. Esme's dad comes and goes, forever riding the influx of the latest get-rich-quick design. As Esme becomes a teenager, she transforms to her good friend Leah's cultured, amazing family for ideas and solace - especially Leah's dad, a well-known shooter who stimulates Esme to cultivate her products. Might artwork - and a favorite teacher - become the answer to some of her troubles? The Beginner's Booklet of Dreams can be an insightful, stylish, sometimes wickedly funny, always sharp-eyed portrayal of a woman inventing and sensing her own indie spirit.
