You Deserve Nothing

Set in an international high school in Paris, YOU DESERVE NOTHING is told in
three voices: that of Will, a charismatic young teacher who brings ideas alive
in the classroom in a way that profoundly affects his students; Gilad, one of
Will's students who has grown up behind compound walls in places like Dakar
and Dubai, and for whom Paris and Will's senior seminar are the first heady
tastes of freedom; and Marie, the beautiful, vulnerable senior with whom,
unbeknowst to Gilad, Will is having an illicit affair.

Utterly compelling, brilliantly written, YOU DESERVE NOTHING is a captivating
tale about teachers and students, of moral uncertainties and the coming of
adulthood. It heralds the arrival of a brilliant new voice in fiction.
