She's one of the stars of the shore this summer; one of the girls who doesn't care what she's drinking or what pill she's taking; who ties perfectly knotted cherry stems with her tongue; her family is rich and she's untouchable. Except her parents' marriage is in brutal collapse and her brother is violently lashing out, the community around her wracked with suspicion and guilt. As her identity unravels, she circles back to the night that a local girl drowned, and no one tried to save her.
Daringly experimental, Machine is a kaleidoscopic interrogation of gender, class and privilege, an unforgettable rendering of youth spinning out of control.
Susan Steinberg is the author of Spectacle, Hydroplane, and The End of Free Love. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a United States Artists Fellowship, a National Magazine Award, and the Pushcart Prize. She teaches at the University of San Francisco.
