From the Publisher:
Home Movie marked the debut of a remarkable writing talent. A compelling family drama and a complex novels of ideas, it is a work of astonishing cumulative power.
From the Back Cover:
"Ellen Akins's Home Movie is a brilliant first novel, subtle, wise, intricate, innovative, and highly theatrical. Just offstage: melodrama as intense and bizarre as anything in the best Hollywood weepies. Onstage: cool authorial maneuvers, stunning visuals, high rhetoric, virtuoso performances,and, beneath all its disguises, the nearest thing to a genuine novel of ideas seen in a very long time".--Robert Coover
