Description

    An idle remark about oral ****** gets high-school teacher Ruth Ramsey assigned to teaching a ****** education class with a distinctly Christian curriculum. Soon she's engaged in a suburban battle with Pastor Dennis and born-again rocker Tim Mason. Tom Perrotta once again shows his skill at sly and subversive, but warm-hearted, satires of small-town America.

Expert Reviews

"Ruefully humorous and tenderly understanding of human folly: the most mature, accomplished work yet from this deservedly bestselling author." (starred review)

Reviewer: James Poniewozik, (Bookforum)

"THE ABSINTENCE TEACHER is a sharp, and almost effortlessly funny comedy of morals."

Reviewer: Michiko Kakutani, (New York Times)

"[A] sad-funny-touching story that looks at the frustrations and perils of life in suburbia through darkly tinted, not rose-colored glasses."
