For many college students, Spring Break means fun and sun in Florida. For Danny, a Yale junior and the everyman hero of Tom Perrotta's new novel, it means two weeks behind the wheel of the Roach Coach, his father's lunch truck, which plies the parking lots of office parks in central New Jersey. Danny can use the time to make sense of his love life, which is getting pretty complicated.
Populated by a vividly drawn cast of characters and set in the highly recognizable cultural coordinates of New Jersey and New Haven in 1980, "Joe College" was a reviewers' favorite in hardcover and is sure to be a major success in paperback.
