Fiction
A complete re-imagining of the 1990s television hit Clarissa
Explains it All as 20-something Clarissa tries to navigate
the unemployment line, mompreneurs and the collision of two
people in love. She was a smart, snappy, light-hearted girl who knew it all
at fourteen and let television audiences everywhere know it.
Now a woman in her late twenties, her searching blue eyes
are more serious, but mostly amused by the people around
her. The gap-toothed smile that made her seem younger than
she really was is gone, but she still lightens up the room.
Her unpredictable wardrobe rocks just like when she was a
kid, but her fashion sense has evolved and it makes men and
women turn their heads. After leaving high school early, Clarissa interned at the
Daily Post while attending night school. At the ripe old age
of twenty- two she had it made - her own journalism beat
(fashion, gender politics and crime), an affordable
apartment in FiDi and a livable wage. She was so totally
ahead of the game. Ah, those were the days! All three of
them. Remember the Stock Market Crash of 08? Remember when
people actually bought newspapers? All of Clarissa's charming obsessions, charts, graphs, and
superstitions have survived into adulthood, but they've
evolved into an ever-greater need to claw the world back
under control. Her mid-twenties crisis has left her with a
whole set of things she can't explain: an ex-boyfriend
turned stalker, her parents' divorce, a micro relationship
with the cute coffee guy, java addiction, "To-Flue Glue,"
and then there's Sam. Where's Sam anyway? Things I Can't Explain is about knowing it all in your teens
and then feeling like you know nothing in your twenties. It
is an entertaining and must-read sequel to all fans of
Mitchell Kriegman's Nickelodeon TV show,Clarissa Explains It
All.
