Tuesday Nights in 1980 by Molly Prentiss

In early 1980 in New York City, the utterly unique and unabashedly complicated worlds of an artist, an art critic, and a muse collide to both breathe in and survive the urban landscape that sits before them. Debut author and Santa Cruz native Molly Prentiss weaves together their stories in such a complete and intoxicating way that you will be stunned to learn that it is her first novel. Do yourself a favor—lose yourself in the contemplation of beauty, creativity, transformation, and regret that are at the heart of this book. You’ll be so happy you did.  —Casey
