Human blues : a novel / Elisa Albert. - First Avid Reader Press hardcover edition. - 401 pages ; 24 cm.
Aviva Rosner is at a crossroads. Her fourth album is about to be released--and her manager says it's going to be big. But Aviva is focused on getting pregnant, which she can't seem to do. How far will she go to have a child? Is that what she really wants? And what about her music, and her growing obsession with Amy Winehouse? On the eve of her fourth album, singer-songwriter Aviva Rosner is plagued by infertility. The twist: as much as Aviva wants a child, she is wary of technological conception, and has poured her ambivalence into her music. As the album makes its way in the world, the shock of the response from fans and critics is at first exciting--and then invasive and strange. Aviva never wanted to be famous, or did she? Meanwhile, her evolving obsession with another iconic musician, gone too soon, might just help her make sense of things.
