Lauren Rothery
Book - 2025

"Who needed to leave? Who needed to find the right place for them or the right people? Not me. I would never write about Los Angeles for as long as I lived. A handsome, aging movie star lotteries off his mega-million-dollar salary to a member of the general viewing public before taking up with a much younger Instagram model. His unbeautiful, non-famous best friend (and sometimes lover) looks on impassively while recollecting their twenty-odd years of unlikely connection. And a young aspiring filmmaker struggles to write a viable script, longing for the perfect circumstances that would finally afford her the freedom to make great art. And isn't it the meek that shall inherit the earth? Television concerns itself with phenomenal luck and its various manifestations in contemporary life: disparities in wealth, beauty, talent, gender, and youth. Slyly humorous, with a profoundly modern style and nimble dialogue reminiscent of early Joan Didion, Lauren Rothery's debut novel is a staggering feat of literary impressionism--and a significant event for American fiction"--
