How to create a Fire and Why, Jesse Ball's singular, blistering new novel, tells the storyline of a teenage girl who has lost everything - and can burn anything. Lucia's dad is inactive, her mother is in a mental clinic, and she's moving into a garage-turned-bedroom with her aunt. And now she's been kicked out of university - again. Making her way through the planet with only a booklet, a Zippo lighter weight, a pocketful of taken licorice, a biting wit, and the impressive intelligence that she attempts to cover, Lucia spends her days and nights riding the bus to visit her mom and following only rule that makes any sense to her: Don't do things you are not pleased with. But when she discovers that her new university has a solution Arson Club, she's prepared to do anything to be always a part of computer, and her life is suddenly lit up. As Lucia's fascination with the Arson Club grows, her story becomes one of misguided camaraderie and, ultimately, devastation.
