I have always liked Sylvia Weiser's writing.-- John Irving</P> <P>History happens to everyone. Even people in the Valley.</P> <P>From the heady days of the Tien An Men crisis to the dawn of a new decade four LA suburbanites-businessman playwright professor and housewife-confront artists and philistines lawyers and liars in a series of quixotic quests for love redemption and the meaning of democracy-right in their own backyards.</P> <P>Funny caustic exuberant rueful 1989 is American Kafka updated and feminized Philip Roth a fast-moving novel with plot twists and a grand reversal as well-written as it is absorbing.</P> <P>A comic twist in every sentence.--Michigan Review</P> <P>Don't miss this humanistic satire--Los Angeles magazine</P>
