About this product
Product Information
"In this sly and salacious work, Nutting forces us to take a long, unflinching look at a deeply disturbed mind, and more significantly, at society's often troubling relationship with female beauty." -San Francisco Chronicle In Alissa Nutting's novel Tampa, Celeste Price, a smoldering 26-year-old middle-school teacher in Florida, unrepentantly recounts her elaborate and sociopathically determined seduction of a 14-year-old student. Celeste has chosen and lured the charmingly modest Jack Patrick into her web. Jack is enthralled and in awe of his eighth-grade teacher, and, most importantly, willing to accept Celeste's terms for a secret relationship--car rides after dark, rendezvous at Jack's house while his single father works the late shift, and body-slamming erotic encounters in Celeste's empty classroom. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress of pure motivation. She deceives everyone, is close to no one, and cares little for anything but her pleasure. Tampa is a sexually explicit, virtuosically satirical, American Psycho-esque rendering of a monstrously misplaced but undeterrable desire. Laced with black humor and crackling sexualized prose, Alissa Nutting's Tampa is a grand, seriocomic examination of the want behind student / teacher affairs and a scorching literary debut.

Reviews
A work of serious ambition, both literary and moral. It's also laced with dark, sometimes savage humor and juicy riffs on consumer culture and its twin obsessions, youth and beauty., A deliriously enjoyable, absolutely shocking book-a morality tale that tempts and taunts readers to succumb to every kind of immorality., A deliriously enjoyable, absolutely shocking book—a morality tale that tempts and taunts readers to succumb to every kind of immorality., In this sly and salacious work, Nutting forces us to take a long, unflinching look at a deeply disturbed mind, and more significantly, at society's often troubling relationship with female beauty., TAMPA is one of the most shocking books I have read; it's also one of the most mesmerizing and surprising. I expected to be disturbed, even appalled; what I did not expect in this story of a female teacher fixated on 14-year-old boys was lyricism and black humor., A deliriously enjoyable, absolutely shocking book--a morality tale that tempts and taunts readers to succumb to every kind of immorality., Tampa is one of the most shocking books I have read; it's also one of the most mesmerizing and surprising. Alissa Nutting has written a stunning, brutal book., Impeccably written, full of smart cultural observations, and no small amount of wit...A very bold book., Tampa takes on a very serious and disturbing subject with such flair and dark humor and bawdy sexual energy that Nutting is sure to become a member in the small club of authors who turns risky writing into high art., The writing is often excellent, hilariously dark, and mean…Reading about [Celeste] was honestly disturbing and fun.
