Dana Spiotta
From "a major, unnervingly intelligent writer" (Joy Williams), "rich, funny, learned, and tonally fresh" (Jeffrey Eugenides), comes a novel about aspiration, film, work, and love.
Dana Spiotta's new novel is about two women, best friends, who grow up in LA in the '80s and become filmmakers. Meadow and Carrie have everything in common - except their views on sex, power, moviemaking, and morality. Their lives collide with Jelly, a loner whose most intimate experience is on the phone. Jelly is older, erotic, and mysterious. She cold calls powerful men and seduces them not through sex but through listening. She invites them to reveal themselves, and they do.
Spiotta is "a wonderfully gifted writer with an uncanny feel for the absurdities and sadnesses of contemporary life, and an unerring ear for how people talk and try to cope today" (The New York Times). Innocents and Others is her greatest novel - wise, artful, and beautiful.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
So far in life, I have not met in person any other Dana Spiotta fans though I know she has many. In the main, the people I know choose books with plots and aren't particularly charmed by Dana Spiotta type characters or obsessive film buffs.What was one of the most memorable moments of Innocents and Others?
What was memorable to me was January LaVoy's read of it. Compared to her performance, the written text might have felt limp.What does January LaVoy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her talent. Plus her voice is a lovely one.Likable story and a wonderful reader

Any additional comments?
A beautifully written novel about art, friendship, feminism, love, and human nature. Dark, quirky and eccentric this story is an intricately interwoven tale of a unique cast of characters. A far cry from your typical pop fiction, an interesting and worthwhile listen.Beautifully written profile of the artist's psyche

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I don't know why I didn't like this book I listened to maybe 3 hours on various car rides, then I had to stop. It was boring me to tears, and I listen to audiobooks to help me stay awake while driving.What could Dana Spiotta have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
I didn't see the purpose of the story.What three words best describe January LaVoy’s performance?
Mildly annoying (sorry...that's only 2 words).Any additional comments?
Some magazine (Marie Claire maybe?) gave it a good review, so I thought I'd give it a try. I should've waited for other Audible listeners to weigh in before purchasing the audiobook.Bored me to tears
