Domestic Arrangements book. I used to read Norma Klein as a teenager in the 80's and I was excited to see one of her books on kindle. What a terrible purchase! Not only was the story boring but confusing.

Originally published in 1982, Domestic Arrangements is the story of a fourteen-year-old New York teen named Tatiana, an unintentional ingénue who becomes notorious for filming a nude scene for a major movie. Norma Klein was best known for young adult works that dealt with family problems, childhood and adolescent sexuality, as well as social issues like racism, sexism, and contraception. Because of their subject matter, many of her books sparked considerable controversy, and a 1986 American Library Association survey found that nine of her novels had been removed from libraries.

One of the most banned and beloved teenage authors of her era, Norma Klein is the author of over 50 books for adults, children and young adults. Taking on racism, homosexuality, adoption, and teenage sexuality, Klein introduced readers to complex topics with humor, depth, and complexity. I'm doing it because I feel like writing about real life.

Reviews about Domestic Arrangements (5):
Authis
I remember this book from my early teen years. It is a satiric look at the 'modern' teenager. I find it funny now reading back. However, if a young person read it and took it all seriously, that could have bad consequences! I was sad to hear Norma Klein has passed away. I enjoyed her books when I was young, and no, did not take everything seriously! I ordered this book for old times' sake.
The characters of Daddy, Mom, Deel are very well- done, and naive Rusty is a likeable but shallow girl who thinks she's mature and 'deep.' Her boyfriend is an earnest but typical hormonal teenager.The storyline is a bit unbelievable but it is a good read with at-the=time topical references.

So happy Norma Kelin is back in print and available on Kindle. I first discovered her work in the mid 90s. I owned about 5 of her books back then and found some at used book stores in the early 2000s. She mostly writes about upper middle class teens who live in Manhattan. Honest discussions of teen relationships and sexuality similar to Judy Bloom's Forever.

I read this partially as research about how teenage sexuality has evolved over the past several decades. As a teenager I remember how scared we all were to have sex having matured in the 80's and being educated and scared of HIV and other STD's. Naomi. Klein was no longer writing by the time I was an adolescent and so I missed out on her take on teens in New York City.

It was a decent read.

In reading her two novels "Domestic Arrangements" and "Give Me One Good Reason" I found Klein to be a generally talented writer.
She writes in a style that minimizes drama--perhaps even making it seem as if her characters lack an ability to possess deeper emotions. Her characters' lives are not too unusually different from an average Jane Doe's--at least it shouldn't make that much of a difference (which is what I suspect the author is trying to say).
Within the context of these slightly unusual situations--a single woman planning a pregnancy which will systematically seclude the bisexual father from the baby's life ("Give me...") and a fourteen year old girl baring it for a movie roll and having sex with her parents' (at least her mom's) blessing ("Domestic...")--Klein tries to portray the reality of her characters. Amidst these complications, her characters are struggling with your more normal problems: falling in love, growing up, coming to terms with your parent's divorce, etc. With Klein's low-key almost nonchalant style of writing, it's not too difficult to relate to the characters or their situations. In her own way, she succeed in delivering the message that strange things happen to normal people-- and unfortunate things, to normal families.
