Description
A provocative novel about the darker side of fame and the human capacity for reinvention. Talk show host Matthew Miller has built his career by exposing the most unlikely secrets of society, but when the high school students responsible for a mass shooting are revealed to be devoted fans, he is thrust into public scrutiny. As the spotlight shines on him, Mattie's past as a brilliant young politician in a crime-ridden city begins to surface. Through the perspectives of his publicist and a disillusioned lover from his past, Jennifer duBois vividly portrays the complexities of Mattie's character, exploring themes of redemption, nostalgia, and the grip of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. With wit, heart, and crackling intelligence, The Spectators examines what we choose to look at, and why. Praise for The Spectators has been forthcoming, with duBois staking out larger literary territory with this daring and multidimensional novel.
