Summary

Inspired by a society obsessed with celebrities, Searle explores the glittery-dark underworld of 'hopefuls,' those who have been given the slightest hint of success--or even imagined success--and who are hungry for an audience, of any size. Ranging from a woman's relentless pursuit to be an actress despite her tendency to faint onstage, to a disintegrating family who comes together if only to watch the imaginary lives in a soap opera, these stories capture the thrill and lure of fame and our insatiable need for it.

Author Biography

Elizabeth Searle is the author of the highly acclaimed novel, A Four-Sided Bed, and My Body to You, a collection of short stories that won the Iowa Short Fiction Prize. She lives in Arlington, MA.
