Synopsis:

It is Election 2000 in America, and Florida is recounting its disputed Bush/Gore votes. But scores of movie-business wannabes are focused on only one goal: getting a piece of a hotly-tipped new TV project called The Diviners - an epic mini-series that will begin with Huns sweeping through Mongolia and close with a Mormon divining for water in the Nevada desert. Nobody has actually read a script yet, but the word is that The Diviners will be huge . . .

Among those circling the project is Vanessa Meandro, volatile chief of Means of Production, a New York indie film company seeking to crack the mainstream. Entertainment is a hard-nosed business, but real emotion might yet blossom for Vanessa's staff - even for Vanessa herself - in this, Rick Moody's most wide-ranging and generous work of fiction yet.
