You Were Wrong by Matthew Sharpe
Requirements: MOBI Reader, 307 KB
Overview: Sharpe’s latest unnerving and satiric novel, following the complex farce Jamestown (2008), portrays a young, dangerously oblivious high-school math teacher. Karl Floor continues to live in his Long Island house after his mother’s death in the belief that she wanted him to look after his loathsome stepfather, Larchmont Jones. A caustically smart monologist, Larchmont’s aggressive riffs on geopolitics, business, and life make Karl positively murderous. Especially after two of his students beat him up, and a beautiful and terrifying young woman breaks into his house and coerces him into transporting his stolen belongings to a scuzzy communal hangout. As loopy and epically depressed pushover Karl falls for fierce, secretive Sylvia, shocking family connections and twisted financial alliances are abruptly revealed. Sharpe has an amazingly improvisational way with language, constructing wildly inventive descriptions that infuse ordinary scenes with alarming intensity, all-but-intoxicating psychological insights, and staggering deadpan humor. Part warped fairy tale, part nerd noir, part hallucinogenic misfit fiction, part sly social critique, Sharpe’s wicked story of class and race, love and hate, is venomously funny and whiplash smart.
