American Spirits

A Novel

by Anna Dorn

Thirty-eight-year-old Blue Velour has finally achieved the critical acclaim she's long been chasing. Over the last decade, she's released six studio albums to mixed reviews, landing her somewhere between performance artist and niche idol. But her latest album, Blue's Beard - a cheeky reference to the subreddit fanatically dedicated to her suspected secret relationship with longtime producer Sasha Harlow - has rocket-launched her reputation. Blue hires nerdy superfan Rose Lutz as her assistant to handle the pressures of the upcoming tour.

When the pandemic shuts down the tour, however, Blue decides to hole up in the redwoods with Sasha to make another album. An aspiring singer herself, Rose is ecstatic to be isolated in a cabin with these two legends, but what begins as a creative retreat spirals into a flurry of chaos and betrayal - culminating in a tragic act that changes their lives forever.

Smart, entertaining and edgy, American Spirits is a compelling exploration of the dark side of fame.
