![]() ![]() ![]() Cameron compensates for his unhappiness by smoking marijuana and listening to the off-putting music of The Great Tremolo. Cameron is sarcastic and caustic in all of his interactions whereas pretty and outgoing Jenna has a large social circle. He does not have friends, he dislikes his family, is jealous of his apparently perfect sister, and he does not like his job working at a local fast food restaurant, Buddha Burger. In the present, Cameron is an unhappy teenager. While there with his parents and his sister, Jenna, he had a heatstroke-induced anxiety attack while riding through the It’s a Small World After All ride and attempted to swim to a small door, nearly drowning. The narrator, sixteen-year-old Cameron, states that the best day of his life occurred when he was five years old and had a brush with death at Disney World. In her novel Going Bovine (2009), Libba Bray uses a darkly comic tone to tell the story of an isolated, unmotivated teenage boy who learns how to live only after being diagnosed with a fatal disease. ![]()
