New Generation Coming-of-Age Novel Promising Young Man by Elias Axel Released from My Delightful Life Press
Promising Young Man by debut author Elias Axel blends humor and raw emotion into this bittersweet, intergenerational coming-of-age story narrated by 18-year-old Oscar about a boy who's afraid of becoming a man and his eccentric grandmother who's tired of living someone else's life. A refreshingly non-formulaic and powerful exploration of the complexities of self-acceptance, living authentically, and the often-misunderstood, often-brutal reality of living with ADHD.
Oscar Danielsson isn't ready for the real world-yet. But he's 18 now, and everyone has expectations. The sharp-witted, mistake-prone teen struggles with self-doubt, his future, and an ADHD diagnosis he'd rather ignore. When a scrape with the law he's too out of it to remember upends his life, Oscar embarks on a wild road trip with his eccentric Grammy, leaving behind his beloved dog Enzo, a budding romance with Bette, and self-destructive habits that kept him afloat. As he races across America to repay his debt, he discovers a family lie that forces him to decide whether to give up entirely or accept a painful truth that might keep him going .
Like The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephan Chbosky and It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini, Promising Young Man explores themes of social anxiety, mental health, and the challenges of navigating adolescence told from the perspective of a young protagonist as he undergoes a journey of self-discovery. Like Colin Higgin's Harold and Maude , Promising Young Man is quirky, satirical & intergenerational.
