â‚¬Å“I readÂ The Life and Death of Sophie StarkÂ with my heart in my mouth. Not only a dissection of genius and the havoc it can wreak, but also a thunderously good story.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Emma Donoghue, New York Times bestselling author ofÂ Room

â‚¬Å“This novel is perceptive, subtle, funny and lingers in unexpected ways. The analysis of a woman who puts her art above all else is equal parts inspiration and warning story. Anna North makes prose look easy.â‚¬Ââ‚¬"Lena Dunham

Gripping and provocative, The Life and Death of Sophie Stark is a haunting story of fame, love, and legacy told through the propulsive rise of an iconoclastic artist. Sophie Stark begins her filmmaking career by creating a documentary about her obsession, Daniel, a college basketball star. But when she becomes too invasive, she finds herself the victim of a cruel retribution. The humiliation doesnâ‚¬t stop her. Visionary and unapologetic, Sophie begins to use stories from the lives of those around her to create movies, and as she gains critical recognition and acclaim, she risks betraying the one she loves most.

Told in a chorus of voices belonging to those who knew Sophie best, The Life and Death of Sophie Stark is an intimate portrait of an elusive woman whose monumental talent and relentless pursuit of truth reveal the cost of producing great art. It is â‚¬Å“not only a dissection of genius and the havoc it can wreak, but also a thunderously good storyâ‚¬Â (Emma Donoghue).
