«Pourquoi pas ?» is David Nicholls's coming-of-age novel, published by 10/18 in paperback (453 pages, in French).
Eighteen-year-old Brian Jackson leaves Bristol for college in 1985: broke, acne-ridden, and with a great passion for Kate Bush. His general knowledge, fuelled by TV quiz shows, earns him a spot on the «University Challenge» team. With Rebecca, a punk, as his adviser, he tries to win the trophy and win over the beautiful, rich Alice.
Work originally published in 2003 under the title «Starter for Ten»; French translation by Michèle Lévy-Bram.
For readers of coming-of-age novels with humor and romance, and for those who enjoy British-set college stories.
David Alan Nicholls is a British novelist and screenwriter. Initially an actor after graduating from college, he became a screenwriter, notably creating the television series Rescue Me (2002) and adaptations of novels, plays, and memoirs. He is the author of six novels.
