![]() ![]() Adam’s sister, Casey, who identifies as lesbian, has just graduated from Columbia and found an apartment in Brooklyn with a Columbia friend (also lesbian) and a guy they found on Craigslist. ![]() Adam Freedman isn’t enjoying the summer before his senior year of high school-his friends are pairing up, and he’s left out he’s also in search of sexual experience (he’s had almost none) and coolness (also none), and he’d like to see the world. And it is, in its way, an almost perfect comedy, the kind that’s hard to praise enthusiastically without giving away the last slice of the plot. ![]() Schrag majored in English at Columbia University, then went on to write for TV, first on HBO’s “How to Make It in America” and then on two seasons of “The L Word.” Between the discipline and sense of audience imposed by commercial TV and the sure grasp of teen-age embarrassment and polymorphous, still-figuring-it-out sexuality that the graphic novels show, Schrag seems to have prepared herself almost perfectly to write “Adam,” a comic novel about a bewildered teen-ager suddenly immersed in New York’s post-collegiate lesbian and queer hipster scene. ![]()
