BOOK JACKET INFORMATION
standing on the fringes of life ... offers a unique perspective. But
there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.
This haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs.
passion marks the stunning debut of a provocative new voice incontemporary fiction: The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
This is the story of what it's like to grow up in high school.
More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and
unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he
lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is
the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and
trying to run from it puts him on astrange course through
uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes,
family dramas and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The
Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect
song on that perfect drive to feel infinite.
Through Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply
affecting coming-of-age story, powerful novel that will spirit you
back to thosewild and poignant roller coaster days known as
growing up.

THE PERKS OF BEING AWALLFLOWER
Part 1
August 25, 1991
Dear friend,
I am writing to you because she said you listen and understand
and didn't try to sleep with that person at that party even though
you could have. Please don't try to figure out who she is because
then you might figure out who I am, and I really don't want you to
do that. I will call people by different names or generic names
because I don't want youto find me. I didn't enclose a return
address for the same reason. I mean nothing bad by this. Honest.
I just need to know that someone out there listens and
understands and doesn't try to sleep with people even if they
could have. I need to know that these people exist.
I think you of all people would understand that because I think
you of all people are alive and appreciate what that...
