Overview
āMy favorite millennial provocateur.ā āBret Easton Ellis, NYLON Magazine Must-Reads September 2023
āThis book is raucous, raunchy, and sure to offend, and there are readers whoāll appreciate those things. I will forever defend Kazemiās ability to write this book and entertain his intended audience against those whoād torch all three.ā āEllen Hopkins, author of Crank and a dozen other banned books
Freshly seventeen and entering his Y2K senior year, Brad is feeling fatigued by the cookie-cutter image his new-agey Oprah-loving mom and corporate-Boomer dad expect him to maintain, so when the new transfer students, Lu and Shane, invite him out to the woods, he agrees to see what this Baphomet-worshipping goth kid and classic-rock stoner have to offer.
āThere's no way a robot wrote this book. A no-holds-barred tour of the Millennial mindset's spiritual DNA. Anything goes.ā āDouglas Coupland
Soon, heās dealing with the delicate balance of a double life, forsaking old friends for his new ones, and secretly embarking on a journey of indulging his darkest impulsesāeven documenting some of their most dangerous and disturbing exploits on their Handycams. But as their hijinks increase and threaten to expose him, Brad is forced to reconcile who he really is or risk drowning in his downward spiral.
āThere is some twisted shit in this book that will likely fuck with your head and break your heart. Remember Woodstock ā99, and how a sick, profit-driven media culture pushed boys to their worst impulses? Think Larry Clark or Bret Easton Ellis by way of Charles Bukowski or J.G. Ballard. These kids are not all right. Kazemiās prose produces the same visceral response as an early Tarantino movie. Proceed with caution.ā āDouglas Rushkoff
At turns hair-raising and harrowing, Alex Kazemiās thrilling debut novel is an unnerving examination of the collision of traditional masculinity, the early internet, and irresistible pop culture that shaped the turn of the century and transformed the way boys engage with the world. The bastard love child of Bret Easton Ellis and Gregg Araki, New Millennium Boyz presents an uncensored and unsettling portrait of the year 2000 that never could have aired on MTV.
āI walked a path parallel to my own, and it was honest, authentic and awful. New Millennium Boyz is an intrusively intimate narration of someone who lived in familiar coordinates yet a different social stratum. That wholly un-unique alienation and emptiness is one that fills me with a nostalgia for a past that was, and was not, my own.ā āBrooks Brown, Columbine Survivor and Author
āIn New Millennium Boyz, Alex Kazemi dissects the post-Columbine generation with wit and a sharp scalpel. His characters are damaged products of their time. While this is a dark chronicle, there's also a cozy High School Confidential feel to the tale and the various media Kazemi employs to tell it, resulting in a compulsively readable novel.ā āPoppy Z. Brite
āAlex Kazemi is a boy wonder.ā āShirley Manson
