Miscellaneous Philosophy: The Underclassman Years
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Stefan Koski is not your average high school kid. He's an eccentric. He's the class-clown, an anthropophobic loner, and a sarcastic, pessimistic, underachieving slacker. He goes through the regular school day with the kind of contempt that puts him at odds with everyone from his teachers to his offbeat classmates to Amnesty International. And he wrote a book detailing the whole experience.
"Miscellaneous Philosophy: The Underclassman Years" goes in-depth in talking about the average day of high school through the eyes of Koski's uncommon viewpoint. Satire knows no bounds as he talks about how the metric system was invented by Communists in biology, how Amnesty International is the bane of human existence while suffering through homeroom, and how prison ball is the modern day right-of-passage from boyhood to manhood. He describes, with gripping and laughable detail, the confusion of the Spanish language, the insanity of teaching a lesson about imaginary numbers, and a true account of how his guidance counselor went on a mildly murderous rampage in an effort to get back pictures of his pet pugs. Amidst all the humor and wisecracks, he makes some deeply moving discoveries about himself and his life, brought on by the inspirational stories of his friends who were any combination of athlete, artist, musician, outcast, suicidal, druggie, and nonconformist.
It isn't a manifesto for the glory days of youth, and it's not another crusade for the dorky underdog, but it is something that grabs the conceptual belief of high school by the gonads.
From the Publisher
Stefan Koski takes us on a guided tour of confused adolescence. Using extreme logic, keen observation, and knife-sharp sarcasm, he combines his unique rationalism with anecdotes from his day-to-day life as a high school sophomore.
