Sisterhood of the Infamous by Jane Rosenberg LaForge is a Hollywood murder mystery that investigates the cost of the pursuit of fame, and the consequences of failure. It will be published in Feb. 23 by New Meridian Arts.
”A sharp, rich examination of the alienation and partnership of sisterhood, rendered in beautiful prose that probes at our assumptions about love, art, and life.”
— Carrie Callaghan, author of A Light of Her Own and Salt the Snow
“The murder of a charismatic rock star on a deserted jogging path, intense entanglement between sisters, and the heady mix of glamour and noir stories of Hollywood make for for an unforgettable read. Jane Rosenberg LaForge looks at seductive fame, obsessive love, and life-altering choices. From the opening pages of Sisterhood of the Infamous, you know you are in the hands of a smart, talented writer who sheds light on some of our darkest desires.”
— Donna Baier Stein, award-winning author and publisher/founder of Tiferet literary magazine
“A theme that will resonate and disturb, in our 15-minutes-of-fame mass culture machine: who gets to become famous, and what happens to those who fail in that quest. In prose that reaches for light, loops, circles around, entangles and bursts into bloom like a vine on a trellis, Jane Rosenberg LaForge gives us an at once startling and inevitable depiction of the devastating cost of failure and the (even more devastating) cost of success.”
— Cris Mazza, author of Yet to Come
“Sisterhood of the Infamous is a masterful work, dense with meaning. The spot-on prose depicts the characters and their world so finely, that throughout LaForge's precise unveiling of her fascinating characters, every reader will often catch themselves thinking, 'God, that’s me!', even if in some cases the thought of that would not be particularly pleasant...As the novel proceeds, more and more the two sisters assume the characteristics of interlocking puzzle pieces; totally different, but each only completely fathomable when held up against the other...LaForge possesses the enviable skill of revealing just enough along the road to keep the reader guessing and wanting to know what’s next; wanting to keep turning the pages.”
— Jim Meirose, author of the novels No and Maybe - Maybe and No (Pski's Porch), Le Overgivers au Club de la Résurrection (Mannequin Haus), Understanding Franklin Thompson (JEF Publications) and Sunday Dinner with Father Dwyer (Optional Books)
