Summary

70% Informative

Rob Franklin's debut novel, Great Black Hope , is one of the first to be released by Summit Books.

It follows the life of David Smith , a flunky at a DTC art world start-up in New York .

The book follows Smith ’s Sisyphean struggle with the legal system, alongside the headline-grabbing details of Elle ’S death.

There are second layers of tension: being wealthy and white of late had become unfashionable, at least without the veneer of multiculturalism.

Smith is aware that what he adds to this scene of people from the East Coast , or from Europe , who have vacation homes in glamorous places, makes them seem more interesting.

Carolyn feels this mask that she’s been wearing, this performance, is a cage, and doesn’t know how to hack her way out of it.

I was interested in how all these characters are performing identity, how they’re performing glamour.

Smith says that the point of drugs is they obliterate time.
