Joe College

For many Ivy League college students, spring break means a raucous road trip to a spot in the sun. For Danny, a Yale junior, the spring of 1982 means two weeks in central New Jersey behind the wheel of his dad's lunch truck, the *Roach Coach*. But Danny can use the time with the coffee urn to try to make sense of a love life that's gotten a little complicated.There's loyal and patient hometown honey Cindy and her recently dropped bombshell to contend with. And there's also lissome Polly in New Haven--with her shifting moods, thrift store dresses, and inconvenient liaison with a dashing professor. If girl problems aren't enough, there's the menace of the Lunch Monsters, a group of thugs who think Danny has placed the "Roach Coach" in their territory. Populated by a vividly drawn cast of characters, *Joe College* is Tom Perrotta's warmest and funniest fiction yet---a comic journey into the dark side of love, higher education, and food service.

המשפט הראשון: All through that winter and into the spring, when our Tuesday- and Thursday-night dinner shifts were done, Matt and I would sit at the long table near the salad bar and plan his end-of-the-year party, our voices echoing importantly in the cavernous wood-panelled dining hall.
