Book Description:

Welcome to the Dollhouse is a stark suburban comedy about 11-year-old Dawn Weiner and the torments she has to endure as she enters adolescence. With great tenderness, Todd Solondz evokes every petty humilation that it is possible for an 11-year-old to endure. The film displays a wrenching emotional perceptiveness beneath a veneer of devilishly funny surface details and, when it was first released, heralded the arrival of an important new film-making talent.
