*Starred Review* Though he's been accepted by Brown University, 18-year-old James isn't sure he wants to go to college. What he really wants is to buy a nice house in a small town somewhere in the Midwest—Indiana, perhaps. In the meantime, however, he has a dull, make-work job at his thrice-married mother's Manhattan art gallery, where he finds himself attracted to her assistant, an older man named John. In a clumsy attempt to capture John's attention, James winds up accused of sexual harassment! A critically acclaimed author of adult fiction, Cameron makes a singularly auspicious entry into the world of YA with this beautifully conceived and written coming-of-age novel that is, at turns, funny, sad, tender, and sophisticated. James makes a memorable protagonist, touching in his inability to connect with the world but always entertaining in his first-person account of his New York environment, his fractured family, his disastrous trip to the nation's capital, and his ongoing bouts with psychoanalysis. In the process he dramatizes the ambivalences and uncertainties of adolescence in ways that both teen and adult readers will savor and remember.

Review
Deliciously vital right from the start ... Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You is a piece of vocal virtuosity and possibly Cameron's best book ... The novel possesses too much emotional complexity and artfulness of construction to exclude adult readers ... Stunning. -- The New York Review of Books --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Not my cake though... Recommended by Mankiw: http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2009/06/dose-of-ennui.html

评分Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you. I don't think that day will come.
评分All the cynical expressions are clever enough to be very convincing. An adolescent woody allen with less humour. For sure, the upper class in new york seems living in hell,
I felt a bit shameful when I borrowed this book from the library. This title sounds like a self-empowering therapy that imply the reader must have some pain somewhere. It is in fact. I do doubt the word "useful". Cynical? I share too many agreements with ...
