Becky, Hugh, Dahlia, and Max. Friends who have formed a dysfunctional but necessary surrogate family. And then there is Callie, the crisis-prone, vivid, manipulative chameleon whose friendship has damaged them all individually but who still haunts their waking and sleeping dreams.
Set in the art-world of New York’, s East Village, Karen McKinnon’, s dissection of Becky and Callie’, s lethal emotional rivalry and manipulation of all those around them is as disturbing as it is gripping. A provocative and edgy first novel by a writer whose characters in the words of Andrea Barrett are “, acid-etched”, and “, unforgettable.”,
