Tuesday Nights in 1980

An intoxicating and transcendent debut novel that follows a critic, an artist, and their shared muse as they find their way-and ultimately collide-amid the ever-evolving New York City art scene of the 1980s. As inventive as Jennifer Egan's A Visit from the Goon Squad and as sweeping as Meg Wolitzer's The Interestings, TUESDAY NIGHTS IN 1980 boldly renders a complex moment when the meaning and nature of art is being all but upended, and New York City as a whole is reinventing itself.
