INNOCENTS AND OTHERS
A master at encapsulating the corrosive nature of fame, technology, and the tyranny of the body, Spiotta takes us to the Los Angeles and Brooklyn of the eighties and today in an ambitious and unforgettable novel about the way we live now.
DANA SPIOTTA'S FOURTH NOVEL a heartbreaking and exhilarating examination of culture, self-image, and intimacy follows the lives of Meadow and Carrie, two best friends who grew up together in Los Angeles and now work as filmmakers. Meadow makes documentaries, while Carrie makes successful feature films with a feminist slant. They question each other's choices; each disappoints the other. And yet their loyalty trumps their different approaches to film and to life.
Until they encounter Jelly an older, mysterious woman who cold calls powerful men and seduces them, not through sex but simply through listening, all the while pretending to be someone she is not.
DANA SPIOTTA is the author of STONE ARABIA (finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction); EAT THE DOCUMENT (finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction); and LIGHTNING FIELD. Spiotta received the Rosenthal Family Foundation Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and was a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, and the Rome Prize for Literature.
