"It isn't easy to write a novel about art, and even harder to write
a novel about art this good, with this much energy and verve and
sense of adventure -- and Molly Prentiss has done it. 'Tuesday
Nights in 1980' is much more than an accomplished first novel; it
is a beautifully written story of creation and transformation, set
against a backdrop of urban decay and political violence. I loved
this book."--Daniel Alarcon, author of At Night We Walk in Circles
& Lost City Radio
"Whether her canvas is as broad as the New York City art world in
the good old days of glitz and excess, or as small as the quiet,
deeply moving connection between brother and sister, Molly Prentiss
seems able to render any expression of humanity expertly onto the
page. TUESDAY NIGHTS IN 1980 has worlds in it, all wildly
appealing, and Molly Prentiss has chops to spare. I can't imagine
the soul who won't love this book."--Marie-Helene Bertino, author
of 2 A.M. at the Cat's Pajamas
"For those of us who like our novels soulful and brainy, ambitious
and deeply felt, Molly Prentiss has given us a first work of
fiction to marvel at and then savor. This is a serious young writer
in full command of her craft."--Tom Barbash, author of Stay Up With
Me
