Made for Love: A Novel
In Alissa Nutting€s novel Tampa, Celeste Price, a smoldering 26-year-old middle-school teacher in Florida, unrepentantly recounts her elaborate and sociopathically determined seduction of a 14-year-old student.
Â
Celeste has chosen and lured the charmingly modest Jack Patrick into her web. Jack is enthralled and in awe of his eighth-grade teacher, and, most importantly, willing to accept Celeste€s terms for a secret relationship€"car rides after dark, rendezvous at Jack€s house while his single father works the late shift, and body-slamming erotic encounters in Celeste€s empty classroom. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress of pure motivation. She deceives everyone, is close to no one, and cares little for anything but her pleasure.
Â
Tampa is a sexually explicit, virtuosically satirical, American Psycho€“esque rendering of a monstrously misplaced but undeterrable desire. Laced with black humor and crackling sexualized prose, Alissa Nutting€s Tampa is a grand, seriocomic examination of the want behind student / teacher affairs and a scorching literary debut.
