The Best People in the World
By Andrew Rimas
The Best People in the World by Justin Tussing (HarperCollins, $24.95)
The debut novel from this Northampton author is a bleak tale of love and friendship, and how they fall apart in an abandoned house in rural Vermont. Thomas is a 17-year-old who's having an affair with his history teacher. Joining up with a weird vagabond, they seek out a country idyll free of constraints, which, of course, lands them in an utter mess. Tussing is a fine writer with a flair for imagery, and he's crafted a melancholy, resonant story.
Originally published in Boston magazine, February 2006
