Lazy Hoffman is the headmistress of Manhattan's "posh" Griffin School and in the midst of an affair with a faculty member she almost can't remember why she started. Lazy's cross to bear is the parents: from the imperious head of the board of trustees to the masters of the universe who don't understand why Lazy can't get their kids into Harvard. Michael Avery is headed for Cambridge: he's whip-smart, but also so troubled he can hardly get through the tedium of daily life. And that's all-too-hard on his girlfriend, Julianne, a compassionate middle class child of divorce who happily wears hand-me-downs from her Barneys-card-carrying best friends. But Julianne is all Michael has - he doesn't have the attention of-his mother, who finds it easier to love her Chinese Crested hairless than her own brilliant and tortured son. Fast-paced, gently satirical and incisive, "Posh" is a poignant and knowing novel.
