Summary Note
"In Slow Reveal, Melanie Mitzner paints a mesmerizing portrait of artists who question the arbiters of culture and the destruction of social norms. "A poem is never finished, only abandoned," wrote French poet Paul Valéry, an outcome echoed when Katharine, a film editor, ends her decade-long affair with Naomi, a lesbian poet. Katharine is determined to reconcile with her artist husband, Jonathan, and repair relations with her daughters Ellie, an artist, and Brigitte, an aspiring writer mired in addiction. Yet, unforeseen tragedy strikes, laying bare the shackles of intergenerational trauma. Art, addiction and family dysfunction culminate as the characters confront the truth that time doesn't always heal, even as they try to hang onto their former lives. Devotion and commitment are not guardrails that keep a work or relationship on track but become rather a form of entrapment as they long to love and be loved. Written in hybrid fiction and poetry excerpts, Slow Reveal weaves a compelling tale of tangled relationships and unveils how art is shaped and defined by media and influencers, social and political injustice, gender identity and family dynamics. In doing so, Mitzner challenges conventional views and redefines "success" as courage--the courage to embark on the artistic process, as risky, messy and unpredictable as building intimacy and trust in love."--
