Fiction
When Speedboat burst on the scene in the late ’70s it
was like nothing readers had encountered before. It seemed
to disregard the rules of the novel, but it wore its
unconventionality with ease. Reading it was a pleasure of a
new, unexpected kind. Above all, there was its voice,
ambivalent, curious, wry, the voice of Jen Fain, a
journalist negotiating the fraught landscape of contemporary
urban America. Party guests, taxi drivers, brownstone
dwellers, professors, journalists, presidents, and
debutantes fill these dispatches from the world as Jen finds
it.
A
touchstone over the years for writers as different as David
Foster Wallace and Elizabeth Hardwick, Speedboat
returns to enthrall a new generation of readers.
