NOTES
In Avigayl Sharp's brilliant and bold debut novel, Offseason, our fiercely observant but self-deluded narrator finds herself teaching at an all-girls boarding school on the Eastern Seaboard. In between manic lectures that veer from Charles Dickens's Bleak House to the childhood maltreatment of her beloved Iosif Stalin and the generational legacy of the Holocaust, she consorts and canoodles with the town's locals--including the possibly disgraced male teacher whose job she's taken over--implicating everyone she meets in her obsessive quest to pin down where, exactly, her own life went wrong
