Description
Tampa is a provocative and darkly comedic novel about a complex and disturbing desire. The story follows Celeste Price, a 26-year-old middle school teacher in Florida, as she pursues a secret relationship with her eighth-grade student, Jack Patrick. Celeste's motivations are rooted in a deep-seated desire for pleasure, and she is willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy this need. Her actions are reckless and remorseless, leaving those around her feeling deceived and isolated. Through Celeste's narrative, Alissa Nutting explores the twisted dynamics of power and desire that can occur between teacher and student. This novel is a scathing satire that laces black humor with crackling prose, offering a searing examination of the desires that drive us all.
