A QPB and BOMC selection. The author's previous novel, 1959, was
nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Award. Bird Kinkaid is an
African-American woman who has recently been plagued by nightmares:
It is a month after she witnessed Alex, her closest friend, plunge
eight stories to her death on the sidewalk below and her grief has
turned into obsession. Was Alex killed or was it a suicide? Was it
an accident or did the white art critic and sometimes lover Frank
Burton push her to her death? The two women had an intense
friendship, their lives intertwined by shared space, history,
friends (and occasionally lovers), and a passion for art. Alex's
death shatters Bird, compelling her to search for answers to her
friend's death amidst the disparate strands of Alex's quixotic
life. When she locates a series of bizarre video tapes among Alex's
belongings, in which she discusses her friends, her artwork, and
her turbulent love life, Bird has the key to solving both the
mystery of her friend's death and her own long-hidden demons.Alive
with wit and sensibility, Maker of Saints is a fascinating and
provocative novel about love, art, jealousy, and friendship in a
funky, glitzy, New York demimonde.
