    <![CDATA[Hairstyles of the Damned is an honest and affectionate depiction of wanting to belong, but never quite belonging. Joe Meno’s pitch-perfect prose illuminates the tumultuous realities of American adolescence, the disintegration of the modern family, and the way a mix-tape can change a person’s life. Following the riotous exploits of Brian, a Catholic school malcontent,  and his best friend Gretchen, a punk rock girl fond of brawling, this work of fiction unflinchingly pursues the truth in discovering what it means to develop your own identity.]]>

Find the entire essay at the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography [cclapcenter.com].)<br/><br/>So a big confession before anything else -- that I went into this book really wanting to like author Joe Meno.
