Self Portrait with Boy

Rachel Lyon\'s first novel – soon to be made into a major motion picture starring Zoë Kravitz and Thomasin McKenzie Lu Rile is a relentlessly focused young photographer struggling to make ends meet. Working three jobs, and worrying that the crumbling warehouse she lives in is being sold to developers, she is at a point of desperation. Until, by pure chance, Lu discovers she’s captured a tragedy in the background of a self portrait; a boy falling to his death. The photograph turns out to be the best work of art she’s ever made. It’s an image that could change her life – if she lets it. Set in early 90s Brooklyn on the brink of gentrification, Self-Portrait with Boy is a provocative commentary about the emotional dues that must be paid on the road to success.‘Beautifully imagined and flawlessly executed’ Joyce Carol Oates‘A sparkling debut’ New York Times Book Review Σελίδες: 384, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0912, Διαστάσεις: 13x13cm
