Authors Kerri Schlottman (Tell Me One Thing) and Laura Scalzo (American Arcadia), discuss New York City in the 1980s and how it inspired their recently launched novels. From the dueling crises of AIDS, drugs, and the fall of the middle class, this decade, seemingly so long ago and yet so recent, has stories still to be unraveled and understood. Inspired by the relentless pursuit of creative expression, both novels interweave stories of social justice, privilege, and the myth that art can save us.
