SUMMARY:Melanie Mitzner
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL BOOK LAUNCH: Hosted by Ken Harvey on Glad Day TV!Join us on Glad Day’s zoom platform for a reading and Q & A featuring Melanie Mitzner and Ken Harvey! \nhttps://zoom.us/my/gladday \nPW: 1970 \ngladdaylit/gdtv \nAbout the book: \nSet in 1990s New York\, Slow Reveal paints a portrait of artists who defy the arbiters of culture and challenge social norms. Art\, addiction and family dynamics capsize the Kanes when they discover the parallel life of Katharine\, film editor\, mother\, lover and wife. \n“A poem is never finished\, only abandoned\,” wrote Paul Valéry\, an outcome echoed in her decade-long affair with Naomi\, a lesbian poet. Katharine’s marriage to Jonathan collapses in his struggle with sobriety when he’s ostracized for politicizing art and abandons his career for advertising. Faced with confrontations from her two grown daughters\, an installation artist and an aspiring writer\, Katharine hangs onto her former life. When unforeseen tragedy strikes\, devotion and commitment are not the guardrails that keep their work or relationships on track but rather a form of entrapment. \nA captivating story about relevance at the end of the 20th century\, the novel questions the voracious demands of contemporary society through a riveting portrayal of turbulent family life\, impacted by art shaped by the media and influenced by social and political injustice. Success is redefined by the courage to embark on the artistic process\, as risky\, messy and unpredictable as building intimacy and trust in love.
