Description: Paint It Black by Janet Fitch This follow-up to Fitchs successful novel "White Oleander" presents a portrait of Josie Tyrell--a teenage runaway, an artists model, and an habitu of the 80s punk rock scene, where sex, drugs, and rock n roll inform her days and nights. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Josie Tyrell, art model, runaway, and denizen of LAs rock scene finds a chance at real love with Michael Faraday, a Harvard dropout and son of a renowned pianist. But when she receives a call from the coroner, asking her to identify her lovers body, her bright dreams all turn to black. As Josie struggles to understand Michaels death and to hold onto the world they shared, she is both attracted to and repelled by his pianist mother, Meredith, who blames Josie for her sons torment. Soon the two women are drawn into a twisted relationship that reflects equal parts distrust and blind need. With the luxurious prose and fever pitch intensity that are her hallmarks, Janet Fitch weaves a spellbinding tale of love, betrayal, and the possibility of transcendence. "A dark, crooked beauty that fulfills all the promise of White Oleander and confirms that Janet Fitch is an artist of the very highest order."-Los Angeles Times Book Review "Lushly written, dramatically plotted. . . Fitchs Los Angeles is so real it breathes."-Atlantic Monthly "There is nothing less than a stellar sentence in this novel. Fitchs emotional honesty recalls the work of Joyce Carol Oates, her strychnine sentences the prose of Paula Fox."-Cleveland Plain Dealer "A page-turning psychodrama. . . . Fitchs prose penetrates the inner lives of [her characters] with immediacy and bite."-Publishers Weekly "Fitch wonderfully captures the abrasive appeal of punk music, the bohemian, sometimes squalid lifestyle, the performers, the drugs, the alienation. This is crackling fresh stuff you dont read every day."-USA Today "In dysfunctional family narratives, Fitch is to fiction what Eugene ONeill is to drama."-Chicago Sun-Times "Riveting. . . . An uncommonly accomplished page-turner."-Elle Author Biography Janet Fitchs first novel, White Oleander, a #1 bestseller and Oprahs Book Club selection, has been translated into twenty-eight languages and was made into a feature film.
