Green Girl by Kate Zambreno 268 pg.
Ruth is a young woman living in London trying to escape her past...or maybe just trying to escape. She seems to be going nowhere, working a series of silly jobs, dressing up and partying with her friends, partaking in a series of inconsequential couplings. She is directionless and her personality changes depending on who she is hanging around. Basically, she is a clean slate awaiting some input. I read this book because it is part of the tournament of books and I'm glad I did. It isn't the type of thing I would normally read and I'm still looking for that book about the strong and opinionated young woman who has a little more power. Perhaps that book isn't in the group this year?
