Dana Spiotta is the author of the
critically acclaimed novels Eat
the Document and Lightning
Field. Here's an excerpt of the review of her latest novel, Eat
the Document:
In her stunning new novel, Dana Spiotta tackles this perennial theme
with ingenuity, inventiveness and élan. Her heroine is a Vietnam-era
radical who has gone underground after a bombing plot that's gone awry —
think of a fictional Kathy Boudin or Cathy Wilkerson. She's someone who has
quite literally tried to jettison the past and forge a new identity for
herself: the former Mary Whittaker becomes Caroline Sherman, who eventually
becomes Louise Barrot — an invented person with the name of a dead infant,
a woman who wants to believe that her "chronically forgettable"
looks and whispery demeanor will make her invisible. -- 'Eat the Document,' by Dana Spiotta - The New York Times - Book Review - New York Times
