Four brilliantly entertaining vignettes about America's past half-century.
In My Hollywood Memoir, the grandson of a silent-screen star goes to Los Angeles to become a movie star himself. It's 1972, and Kid Crusoe Wyatt parlays his contacts into a gay love affair and a starring role in his grandfather's biopic-but will his fate be any different than Granddad's? Sidestep, set in 1980s Ohio, explores how American elites manage to stay on top come what may, even as crack cocaine threatens Jonah Greene's outsized success. Big Luck's Ricardo is a 2000s Mexican immigrant whose sex-worker past stymies his citizenship application, until-after helping to game the California lottery-he realizes what he must do. The mood darkens with the mid-2010s in Save the Max Man! as a family deals with a child's health crisis by waging war on its medical insurance provider.
Meyers is a masterly communicator.-Kirkus Reviews
