I chose this book as part of a 30 Days of Pride Book Review project. This is that review:James Sveck, an 18 year old New-Yorker with an upcoming freshman year at Brown to look forward to, spends his days searching the internet for quaint farmhouses in the country, avoiding talking to his therapist, avoiding talking to his family, and avoiding working at his mother's art gallery.I'll start by saying this:If you are looking for a "coming of age story" where all the pieces fall neatly into place by the end and the character learns some great secret about life or his nature that just somehow turns everything around for him... this is not that novel......but I really like it, anyway.What this novel did for me was capture, in its main character, a perfect snapshot of young adulthood, in all its painful throes. And I swear to you, James Sveck is my kindred. In fact, this novel so succinctly recreated how I felt when I was 18, also in 2003, that I was a little unnerved by it. James' inner monologue on why it was so impossible to speak, interact, and exist in society along with other human beings felt almost eerily familiar. All of his nervous assertions against the idea of going off to college, reminded me so much of my own reservations... and when we eventually learn how his class trip to DC imploded, that was a pretty good parallel to how I felt in college.I just really connected with this character.This line in particular: "I knew I was gay, but I had never done anything gay and didn't know if I ever would. I couldn't imagine it, I couldn't imagine doing anything intimate and sexual with another person, I could barely talk to other people, so how was I supposed to have sex with them? So I was only theoretically, potentially homosexual."Oh, James Sveck, you socially-inept and barely functional human being, I know those thoughts, I've felt those feels.This book doesn't take the reader on much of a ride. We get to look in on James and his family for just a few short days, and ultimately the action/drama is a straight line; it wasn't building toward anything or necessarily going anywhere. The character's all stayed distinctly themselves, maybe a little wiser for the events of the story, but then again maybe not really. And the ending was only an ending in the sense that the book stopped there. A lot of people would put these things in the negative column...but they actually didn't really bother me that much. Maybe it was because it all felt so familiar or so lovingly rendered, but I didn't really miss the plot.So do I recommend it? I acknowledge it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but yes. I think you should read this book. I hope you connect a little with James and by proxy with me.The only thing left to do is put it on this project’s rating scales.Scale number one, which I've been calling The Queer Counterculture Visibility Scale, measures how much a book shines a light of representation on less visible members of the community. This book doesn't do so hot on this scale. James is a white upper-middle-class teenage boy. There is a black gay side character, who gets a little bit of play, but to be honest that didn't impress me much. I'm only giving it:1 out 5 stars.And if I'm being honest, on the second scale, which I've been calling The Genre Expectation scale, it doesn't score overly high either. It's a perfectly pleasant representation of the YA coming of age Genre. It doesn't do anything to bend genre expectations, but adequately meets them. So I’m giving it:3 out of 5 stars.(That being said, on a totally subjective scale that speaks only to my personal preferences in reading materials, I still absolutely rate this book as a 5 out of 5 read... and I still recommend it)
There is so much to love about this book. The characters feel authentic and are developed in a way as to make them charming in their various foibles and frailties. That's especially the case with the main character, James, whom I came to feel so attached to and fond of.James struggles with much of life but nothing more than himself and his propensity for self-sabotage. He is ever insightful when it comes to those around him, but he has some definite blinders when it comes to analyzing- and understanding- why he does what he does.In the end, he seems to be a beautifully damaged and vulnerable young man. He has much to learn about himself, but you feel as if he will, and that when he does, the world will most certainly benefit from it.
The sarcasm in the title sets the tone perfectly for this coming-of-age story of an intelligent but extremely cynical, moody and socially antagonistic 18 year old son of emotionally-distant, self-obsessed, divorced upper-class parents in New York City. It's the summer before James is to go away to college at Brown (which he does not want to do, primarily due to the necessary interaction with his peers this will require), and he is spending it "working" at his mother's art gallery, taking the train for frequent visits to his grandmother (the only relative he seems to be able to relate to), and seeing a therapist (his parents' idea, after he had a reported "breakdown" on a school trip to Washington DC earlier in the year.)In almost lyrical fashion, author Cameron spins the convincing web of James' fears, dreams, compulsions, and - perhaps - unrequited passions (Although he does not identify as gay, he seems to have a need to be desired and loved by the older gay man who manages his mother's gallery). It's likely that every reader will see some part of his own coming-of-age frustrations in James, making this a surprisingly comforting as well as witty and entertaining read. Rate it five stars out of five.
The closest I could get to a one sentence review/summary of Peter Cameron's "Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You" is to describe it like this: "Catcher in the Rye" for the post-9/11 world.The narrator, James Sveck, is an anti-social 18 year old male living in New York with his-let's say eccentric-art gallery owning divorced mother and an older sister who's busily caught up in being a young 20-something in New York. Oh, and their dog Miró, a standard black poodle. Yeah, I'm sure you can kind of imagine the family from that.The first page starts the novel up with so much promise:"The day my sister, Gillian, decided to pronounce her name with a hard G was, coincidentally, the same day my mother returned early and alone from her honeymoon. Neither of these things surprised me."Seriously. I fell in love with the story after those two lines, but the narrator was so perennially detatched from the world around him that it became difficult to identify with anything other than his frustration or angst. As a reader, I struggled to find some investment in who James was, or how he felt about the world around him.Because of this detachment the climax was unfulfilling. Many of the plot lines are simply left hanging or wrapped up in an entirely unsatisfactory and hasty manner. For example, his grandmother saw an emotion that I do NOT believe was adequately conveyed in the writing. Hell, I would not have assumed James felt it until his grandmother explicitly stated it, and that is my over all issue with the novel. I understand feeling painfully out of place, (believe me, I really do,) but even under these circumstances I felt something: pain, sorrow, loss, frustration, SOMETHING. James never does, and because of this I could never fully connect.
