Grand Central Publishing imprint Twelve publishes only twelve books a year, and Sharon Pomerantz’s Rich Boy is the sole novel of 2010. If that distinction doesn’t convince you of this story’s specialness, how about the following excerpt from David Madden’s review in BookPage?
I very much enjoyed Twelve’s spin on a book trailer. In it, Pomerantz narrates a video essay about her work as a shoe shine girl in Manhattan—an experience that influenced Rich Boy.
