THE SLEEP-OVER ARTIST takes Alex Fader, the main character from Tom Beller's debut novel, and amounts to an account of critical stages in Alex's life, mapping his progress from youthful delinquent to filmmaker whose career begins when he makes a documentary film exposing the prep school from which he has been expelled. Alex longs for the taste of family life that the early death of his father has denied him. As a young boy he sleeps over at his friends' houses and ingratiates himself with their families, as a young man he extends his sleep-overs to the lives of young women, culminating in the ultimate sleep-over - an affair in England with a glamorous, slightly older woman, the mother of a young boy. Warm and wise, funny and full of feeling, THE SLEEP OVER ARTIST is touching novel of hope and resignation, of insight and affection.
