Cameron, Peter. Someday This Pain Will be Useful to You. (2007).
James Sveck announces that he is not going to Brown University. He is too smart for that. Why go to university when all he needs to know can found in books anyway. What, pray tell, will he do? He will buy a house in the Midwest.
James is at odds with his mother, father, and sister. He is troubled by his feelings for his art gallery colleague. He finds solace in visiting his D-list celebrity grandmother.
This is James' summer from HELL.
