An epic debut novel about a young man coming to terms with his life in the process and aftermath of making his first filmâfrom critically acclaimed short story writer Owen Kingâfor readers of Joshua Ferris, Sam Lipsyte, and Chad Harbach.SAM DOLAN is a young man coming to terms with his life in the process and aftermath of making his first film. He has a difficult relationship with his father, B-movie actor Booth Dolanâa boisterous, opinionated, lying lothario whose screen legacy falls somewhere between cult hero and pathetic. Allie, Samâs dearly departed mother, was a woman whose only fault, in Samâs eyes, was her eternal affection for his father. Also included in the cast of indelible characters: a precocious, frequently violent half-sister; a conspiracy-theorist second wife; an Internet-famous roommate; a contractor who canât stop expanding his house; a happy-go-lucky college girlfriend and her husband, a retired Yankees catcher; the morose producer of a true-crime show; and a slouching indie-film legend. Not to mention a tragic sex monster. Unraveling the tumultuous, decades-spanning story of the Dolan familyâs friends, lovers, and adversaries, Double Feature is about letting go of everythingâregret, resentment, dignity, moving pictures, the deadâand taking it again from the top. Against the backdrop of indie filmmaking, college campus life, contemporary Brooklyn, and upstate New York, Owen Kingâs epic debut novel combines propulsive storytelling with mordant wit and brims with a deep understanding of the trials of ambition and art, of relationships and life, and of our attempts to survive it all.
