Description
A jagged, propulsive story of guilt and youth spinning off its axis in the wake of a drowning One summer night, a local girl drowns at the shore. In the wake of her death, a seething guilt settles over the teenagers of the town - a hard-partying group made up of locals and wealthy outsiders. Another girl, searching for answers, sinks back into the events before the tragedy. Caught up in the violent collapse of her own family, and the growing fault lines in the community, she struggles to stave off personal crisis in the shadow of trauma. Daringly experimental and deeply moving, Machine is a thrilling interrogation of gender, class and privilege - and a story of youth spinning out of control. Susan Steinberg is the author of Spectacle, Hydroplane, and The End of Free Love. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a United States Artists Fellowship, a National Magazine Award, and a Pushcart Prize. She teaches at the University of San Francisco.
