Talking to the Wolf

"It's a story about how our ideas of success change over time, and the mysterious ways that our deepest friendships both hold us and release us."-Rene Steinke, novelist and National Book Award finalist Talking to the Wolf is a poignant and haunting exploration of female friendship that unearths the past and the ghosts we carry into the present. Four women. Thirty-five years. A lyrical and unsettling look at female friendship across time. A failed rockstar, an awarded scientist, a work-obsessed misanthrope, and a ghost, whose untimely death ruptured the once-solid quartet, steel themselves for their thirty-fifth high school reunion dinner. Set during a surprise snowstorm in New York City the day of the reunion, Talking to the Wolf is a lyrical exploration of female friendship across decades. Like a Meg Wolitzer novel shot by filmmaker Nicole Holofcener and blessed by Virginia Woolf, Talking to the Wolf pole-vaults over the Bechdel Test.
