How I Paid For CollegeMarc Acito’s comic debut novel, “How I Paid for College: A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship and Musical Theater” won the Oregon Book Awards’ Ken Kesey Award for the Novel and made the American Library Association’s Top Ten Teen Book List.

It was also selected as an Editor’s Choice by the New York Times, has been optioned for film by Columbia Pictures and has been translated into four languages the author does not speak. Publisher’s Weekly said: “Acito debuts with dazzling comic panache. The results is a thumbs-up winner from a storyteller whose future looks as bright as that of his young hero.”
