From Spine Magazine:
Innocents and Others, by Dana Spiotta, is a coming of age novel set in the 1980s about two female filmmakers, tangled together through friendship and work. The book re-examines questions that have been on the table since John Berger’s “Ways of Seeing”; how do women see themselves, how do they see themselves as others watch them, and how does the fact of being seen impact female identity.
