Edna Sloane was a promising author at the top of her game. Her
debut novel was an instant classic and commercial success, vaulting
her into the heady echelons of the 1980s New York City lit scene.
Then she disappeared and was largely forgotten. Decades later, Seth
Edwards is an aspiring writer and editor who feels he's done all
the right things to achieve literary success, but despairs that his
dream will be forever out of reach. He becomes obsessed with the
idea that if he can rediscover Sloane, it will make his career. His
search for her leads to unexpected places and connections, and the
epistolary correspondence that ensues makes up this book, a novel
infused with insights and meditations about what our cultural
obsession with the "next big thing" does to literature, and what it
means to be a creative person in the world.
