Her arrival coincides with an explosion of activity—artists colonize a deserted and industrial SoHo, stage actions in the East Village, blur the line between life and art. Reno is submitted to a sentimental education of sorts—by dreamers, poseurs, and raconteurs in New York and by radicals in Italy, where she goes with her lover to meet his estranged and formidable family. Ardent, vulnerable, and bold, Reno is a fiercely memorable observer, superbly realized by Rachel Kushner.","brand":"Rachel Kushner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47948667289822,"sku":"9781439142011","price":25.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/4567\/6440\/files\/BNCImageAPI_82dcb08c-4754-466f-a4d9-eafe432ff752.jpg?v=1772679618","url":"https:\/\/paragraphbooks.com\/products\/9781439142011","provider":"Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
