Reviews"A great book--melancholic and funny and wicked smart." --Michael Miller, National Book Critics Circle "With scrupulously intense sentences--pitch-perfect, pitch-dark--Indiana conjures a hugely sad New York novel that feels once state-of-the-art and stunningly ancient." --Ed Park, The Believer

SynopsisA dark yet compassionate comedy of art aspirations and friendships come to naught. First published in 2003, Gary Indiana's turn-of-the-millennium novel traces the lives of a loosely connected group of New York artists and the dissolution of their scene. During the summer of 2001, the narrator of Do Everything in the Dark, a gallery curator, receives intermittent dispatches from his far-flung friends-many of whom resemble well-known figures in the art and intellectual worlds-who are spread out across the globe, from Istanbul to Provincetown to Santa Fe. Seeking various reprieves from a changed New York, the long-festering, glossed-over incompatibilities of these aging bohemians blossom into exotic and unbearable relief. Beneath the contemporary excesses Indiana chronicles, we can see the outlines of the earlier New York bohemia captured by Dawn Powell. Arguably Indiana's most intimate, internal, and compassionate work to date, Do Everything in the Dark is a chilling chronicle of madness and failure, success and disappointment, and the many ways love dies in a world people find increasingly unlivable., A dark yet compassionate comedy of art aspirations and friendships come to naught.
