Lu Rile is a relentlessly focused young photographer struggling to make ends meet. Working three jobs, responsible for her aging father, and worrying that the crumbling warehouse she lives in is being sold to developers, she is at a point of desperation. One day, in the background of a self-portrait, Lu accidentally captures on film a boy falling past her window to his death. The photograph turns out to be startlingly gorgeous, the best work of art she's ever made. It's an image that could change her life...if she lets it. But the decision to show the photograph is not easy. The boy is her neighbors' son, and the tragedy brings all the building's residents together. It especially unites Lu with his beautiful grieving mother, Kate. As the two forge an intense bond based on sympathy, loneliness, and budding attraction, Lu feels increasingly unsettled and guilty, torn between equally fierce desires: to use the photograph to advance her career, and to protect a woman she has come to love. Set in early 90s Brooklyn on the brink of gentrification, Self-Portrait with Boy is a provocative commentary about the emotional dues that must be paid on the road to success, a powerful exploration of the complex terrain of female friendship, and a brilliant debut from novelist Rachel Lyon. 650 0 $a Women photographers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children $x Death $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 17 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305014429.0 952 $l BEPA251 $d 20231028011954.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012013536.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20230602010418.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331013415.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806014932.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110073141.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717034938.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20190417011102.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107035246.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006113504.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720050651.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719025554.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20180626015800.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20180410013608.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20180329071817.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180213010224.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B1CD2198108B11E8B110BB5597128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
