Description
Published in 2013, Speedboat is a groundbreaking novel that defies conventions. Renata Adler's experimental work follows a young journalist as she navigates the complexities of American life in the late 1970s.
With a unique voice that blends ambivalence, curiosity, and wryness, the protagonist's dispatches from the world around her offer a fresh perspective on the urban landscape. From party guests to taxi drivers, the characters that fill this novel are as varied as they are fascinating.
A touchstone for writers and readers alike, Speedboat continues to enthrall with its innovative style and thought-provoking themes. This edition, published by the New York Review of Books, is a reprint of the original work that has made a lasting impact on literary fiction.
