Like most contemporary fiction, Reena Spaulings is about a female twenty-something. Reena is discovered while working as a museum guard and becomes a rich international supermodel. Meanwhile, a bout of terrible weather seizes New York, leaving in its wake a strange form of civil disobedience that stirs its citizens to mount a musical song-and-dance riot called \"Battle on Broadway.\" Fashioned in the old Hollywood manner by a legion of professional and amateur writers striving to achieve the ultimate blockbuster, the musical ends up being about a nobody who could be anybody becoming a somebody for everybody. The result is generic and perfect — not unlike Reena Spaulings itself, whose many authors create a story in which New York itself strives to become the ultimate collective experiment in which the only thing shared is the lack of uniqueness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Semiotexte\/Smart Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054121369840,"sku":"9781584350309","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781584350309_p0.jpg?v=1763791239","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781584350309","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
