Little Children
Tom Perrotta's thirtyish parents of young children are a varied and
surprising bunch. There's Todd, the handsome stay-at-home dad dubbed "The Prom
King" by the moms at the playground, and his wife, Kathy, a documentary
filmmaker envious of the connection Todd has forged with their toddler son. And
there's Sarah, a lapsed feminist surprised to find she's become a typical wife
in a traditional marriage, and her husband, Richard, who is becoming more and
more involved with an internet fantasy life than with his own wife and child.
And then there's Mary Ann, who has life all figured out, down to a scheduled
roll in the hay with her husband every Tuesday at nine P.M.
They all raise their kids in the kind of quiet suburb where nothing ever seems to happen - until one eventful summer, when a convicted child molester moves back to town, and two parents begin an affair that goes further than either of them could ever have imagined.
>Tom Perrotta is the author of several works of fiction, including Joe College and
Election, which was made into the acclaimed 1999 movies starring Reese
Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick. Perrotta has taught expository
writing at Yale and Harvard University and has been called "one of our
true genius satirists" by Mystic River author, Dennis LeHane. Newsweek
hailed him as "one of America's best-kept literary secrets...like an American
Nick Hornby." Tom lives with this wife and two children in Belmont,
Massachusetts.
