Project X
John Gall, New York, New York, 2003
Description
This is a novel about two disconnected teens and their eventual involvement in a Columbine-like situation. Instead of focusing too literally on the plot, I wanted to create a numbing buzz of a cover, the result of generic forces created by overstimulation.
Juror Notes
“Uncomfortably provocative, and the type—which runs trendy when applied to an entire book— somehow works here.” Cheryl Towler Weese
