Ned Vizini: It's Kind of a Funny Story

The late teens, called adolescence, are more likely to have to be self-inflicted and insightful than ever before in their lives, but in reality, they are all on the road to middle-age affairs, special activities and services, and ultimately to enter the elite. As economic polarization and recession continue, young people nowadays are in competition and are experiencing life's contradictions at a younger rate than ever before. Ned Beazi, who traveled to Stuvesund High School, one of the first leading centers in New York City, has been more sensitive than anyone else to the nature of unpredictation during this youth. Instead of going to college after high school, he was born in the spirit of a work that dealt with youth's life on the road of freelance and authorship. The East Cains of Affini Story, a novel about Ned Beazie's autobiographical story, called "The Realm of the Writers Who Make Your World Lives Living," and "The Amazing Book That Changed Your View of the World" (The Guardian) was chosen as 'The Greatest Youth of 2007. The writer enters the prestigious high school but paints a realistic picture of the psychology of a young man who is depressed, eating and dying of anorexia and suicide, while he engages in a competitive academic career. Although the story is a sad one, he has been constantly in a cynical but humorous mood, and comes closer to the heavy subject with a rather unintelligible and fresh perspective, as well as a little bit of curiosity and interest in the epic.
