Download or read book Speedboat written by Renata Adler and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award, this is one of the defining books of the 1970s, an experimental novel about a young journalist trying to navigate life in America. When Speedboat burst on the scene in the late ’70s it was like nothing readers had encountered before. It seemed to disregard the rules of the novel, but it wore its unconventionality with ease. Reading it was a pleasure of a new, unexpected kind. Above all, there was its voice, ambivalent, curious, wry, the voice of Jen Fain, a journalist negotiating the fraught landscape of contemporary urban America. Party guests, taxi drivers, brownstone dwellers, professors, journalists, presidents, and debutantes fill these dispatches from the world as Jen finds it. A touchstone over the years for writers as different as David Foster Wallace and Elizabeth Hardwick, Speedboat returns to enthrall a new generation of readers.

After six years of digging in the deserts of the Middle East, she is rewarded with an unprecedented discovery. To her amazement, she has unearthed a pristine tomb bearing not only the remains of a Sumerian goddess, but also a trove of invaluable relics--and most important of all, ancient clay tablets that tell a most incredible story. If Susan can prove that the story is true, it will not only change history as we know it but will forever alter mankind's view of itself, changing the very fabric of our existence. Her secret puts Susan in direct conflict with numerous world governments, religious factions, and various clandestine secret societies, all with the sole purpose of using the new knowledge for their own twisted agendas. She quickly learns that these people will stop at nothing to achieve their nefarious goals. When a mysterious stranger appears to warn her of the impending dangers, he advises her to seek out help from another archeologist named Will Furness. As soon as Will arrives, they both discover that their very lives are at stake. Their only chance for survival is to prove Susan's theory and make it public before they are caught. Now it's a race against time and across two continents. Can she survive the onslaught, caught up in world powers beyond her belief? Has she found the man that can truly stand with her in all aspects of her life? Can she live with the knowledge that she is about to unleash on the world? Can she live with the knowledge that she discovers about herself? This debut novel by a talented new novelist explores many previously unanswered questions about the origins of the entire human race and how we fit in this world that we thought was ours alone. If you enjoy high adventure, scientific intrigue, and old-fashioned treasure hunting, then this is one story not to be missed.
