Description
Eat the Document A Novel by Dana Spiotta In the 1970s, passion and idealism drove two young people to take radical action against the Vietnam War. Their actions had far-reaching consequences, forcing them to erase their past and forge new identities. Twenty-five years later, one of these individuals lives in secret, while the other has built a life in the suburbs with her son. The connection between their eras is revealed through the language, technology, music, and activism of both times. Dana Spiotta's novel explores the culture of rebellion and its lasting impact on two generations, offering a character-driven portrait of love, sacrifice, and the complexities of contemporary life.
