Alex Wants To Call It Love (A 90's Title)

By Silvia Sanza

East-side, West-side, hi-rise, low-rise, hi-tech, low-rent, downtown New York where everybody wants something - usually money, often love, always success. Fiarette and Kary are romantic dilettantes, seeking bedroom then headroom as they drift through their micro-chip lives. Pill-popping Alex wants to be Bob Dylan. Martin Worthy just wants control over his life. As the maelstrom of modern Manhattan gathers force, each becomes victim. Alex takes a dive off a rooftop, Martin finds reality in the submerged world of fiction and Fee and Kary pursue their rootless affairs. In a striking debut, Silvia Sanza has created an image of New York after itself: original, quirky, wry, reminiscent of Donald Barthelme at his best.
