The Diviners: A Novel

With his first novel in seven years, Rick Moody returns to fiction with a departure from the themes he explored in acclaimed works such as, "The Ice Storm" and "The Black Veil." "The Diviners" follows a group of wannabees and aspiring entertainment industry types as they vie to discover the next big thing in adapting a hyped-television miniseries. This social satire sends up politics, media, and the entertainment industry as the novel describes a rumor-driven industry willing to go into production on a miniseries involving Mormons and Mongolians without even a script.
