Dana Spiotta's

Stone Arabia

(Scribner)

takes a deep and ultimately heartbreaking look at family relationships, love, identity and memory — all against the backdrop of LA rock 'n' roll, new wave and punk, in their heyday. Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore calls it a "rock 'n' roll novel like no other."
