Requirements: ePUB Reader, 528 KB
Overview: John Domini’s Talking Heads: 77 is a novel about integrity and idealism set in a time when integrity and idealism are in very short supply.

A wild, fragmented portrait of the late 70s and the punk scene with a rich and diverse cast of characters including an idealistic editor of a political rag, a pony-riding Boston Brahmin intent on finding herself and shedding her husband, an up-and-coming punkster who fancies evenings at the Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary, an editorial assistant named Topsy Otaka, and more.

Domini’s latest book carves out characters so stubbornly vivid that they achieve the rare feat of lodging themselves in one’s consciousness long after the final page. Kit Viddich– protagonist, muckraker, Minnesota ranch boy–deals with the slings and arrows of late-seventies political journalism abetted by a cast of diverse yet deeply recognizable figures. Whether it’s his Brahmin wife and her Cape-Cod-loving family, corrupt politicos, corrupted prisoners, or the unlikely crew of his struggling magazine, it is the fascination with these characters and the ways they interact that draw us into the story time and again.

John Domini has published fiction in Paris Review, Ploughshares, and elsewhere, as well as in anthologies. Three of stories have made Honorable Mention for the Pushcart Prize, and his first collection Bedlam, was listed in Library Journal as one of the best books on a small press that year. His first Red Hen Press collection is Highway Trade. He has placed non-fiction in GQ, the New York Times, and many other places, and is currently at work on both a novel and a non-fiction project. Grants have come from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Ingram-Merrill Foundation. He has taught all over the country, at Harvard, Lewis & Clark, and Northwestern, and currently he’s at Drake University in Des Moines.
