Filled with the fruits of greed, lust, and uncertainty, The Autobiography of Anita Analiza by new author T. D. James is a candid and erotic portrait of one girl as she comes of age. A vivid illustration of a new genre of writing the author describes as "urban realism," the main character, Anita, endures the harsh realities of life without the quick fixes that are sometimes included in coming-of-age reads.
