Description

During one month in the autumn of election-year 2000, scores of movie-business strivers are centered on one goal: obtaining a bit of an elusive, but certainly large, television tale, the one that opens with Huns sweeping through Mongolia and closes with a Mormon diviner in the Vegas desert; the guaranteed-to-please-everyone multi-generational TV miniseries about diviners, those miracle-workers who bring water to perpetually thirsty (and hungry and love-starved) humankind. One of the wannabes: Vanessa Meandro, hot-tempered head of Way of Production, an indie film company; her harried and varied staff; a Sikh cab-driver, marketed to work of -concept and practice of Television; a bipolar bicycle messenger, who makes a fateful mis-delivery; two star publicists, the Vanderbilt women; a thriller writer who gives Botox parties; the child of an L.A. large-picture, who is employed to get Vanessa+s Krispy Kremes and more; a term guy who created the expression--inspired with a true history; and a supreme court justice who really wants to create the script.A several true designers area within the Span of Moody+s rollicking but delicately woven book, and actual feeling fundamentally flowers for many of Vanessais team at Way of Manufacturing, actually himself. THE DIVINERS is just a cautionary story about useless goal; a highly detailed consider the interlocking realms of money, politics, addiction, sex, work, and family in contemporary America; and a masterpiece of humor that'll provide Rick Moody into a still high level of understanding.
