Description
In this mesmerizing debut from a bright new talent, two enigmatic and unforgettable siblings confront what and who theyre willing to sacrifice for their artSophie Madeline Dess has conjured one of the most unique and heartbreaking family narratives in recent memory, and with her rendering of the dynamic between Ava and Demetri, shes given us a sibling duo for the ages. Sam Lipsyte, New York Times bestselling author of The Ask and No One Left to Come Looking for YouOn the eve of her first solo show, Ava is feeling defiant. The art gallery acolytes have insisted on writing explanations of her paintings for an accompanying catalog, but what do they know of her work? What do they know of her brother, Demetri, whose face echoes across every canvas?After all, Ava and Demetri have only ever had each other. Abandoned first by their mother, who drowned in the Long Island Sound, and then again by their father, who couldnt see beyond his grief, each sibling has always been the others most ardent supporter: Demetri encouraged Avas raw talent as a painter, while Ava pushed Demetri to pursue filmmaking. But as they make their way in New York, the codependency that once sustained them soon threatens to be their undoing. Betrayals mount, fueled by Avas reckless acts and her disdain for Demetris last-ditch efforts to make something of consequence, but what ultimately and irreversibly tips the scales wont be found on canvas or film. Because now, at thirty-one, Demetri is dying.As Ava reckons with the meaning of her portraits, what soon emerges from her intimate, offhanded, and mischievous meditations is a stunning and unsettling confession of secrets, epiphanies, rivalry, and infidelity. Vaulting between childhood and the days leading up to Demetris death, here is a searing portrait of two remarkable siblings reckoning with the limits of loyalty. Heralding the arrival of an impressive new talent, What You Make of Me lays bare the thin line between success and sacrifice.
