Determined to keep his fiancée after backsliding in family therapy, a sociologist spends a disastrous week at his father’s beach house confronting the generational trauma that fractured his childhood to save his wedding and protect his younger sisters. #bluepit #bluepit📖 #a
Nobody’s Son - contemporary fiction Pitch:Sociology postdoc Brett’s fiancée Jasper has given him an ultimatum: Make progress in family therapy or she won’t marry him. His neurotic Jewish mother is defensive about her parenting, harboring secrets about her late Salinger-obsessed father, and Brett hasn’t forgiven her for throwing a shoe at his father at his brother’s wedding. His wealthy and philandering cable news pundit father—now remarried with children— always favored his athletic brother, damaging their relationship. With less than a month until the wedding, family therapy isn’t working, and his failing plastic surgery study is causing stress that’s taken a toll on the engagement. Unwilling to cut off his father and brother to preserve his bond with his young half-sisters, Brett must confront his unresolved family trauma, or there won’t be a wedding. Excerpt:“My family is hard to love—or as Jasper puts it, a nightmare bred from the American Dream. She won’t marry me until we’ve made significant progress in family therapy. The wedding’s a few weeks away, and if it’s a repeat of my brother’s, I have a feeling our marriage papers will end up in the fireplace instead of the registrar’s office.” Comps: good material Flawed, male protagonist in need of humbling. Worry: Blunt millennial take on dysfunctional families and the narrator’s relationship with his Jewish mother.

She's glaring intensely at the viewer. Middle top: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. Middle bottom: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies. Right: Poster for the 6th Sokol Festival. A woman in red, wearing a crown, sits as she clutches flower rings in her right hand and up her right arm. A ghostly, green image of a woman glares behind her.

A mood board of eight tiles and a centre square with lockpicking tools and ancient writing: 1. Always have an escape plan. 2. A swindler never lets herself feel like a fraud. 3. Don't look for the easy grab, look for the easy mark. 4. Never get involved with golems. The pictures depict, clockwise from upper right: A) A city of canals and towering footbridges. There are minarets and steeples and red-tiled roofs. B) A market selling elaborate lanterns, all aglow. C) A porcelain and gold hand, reaching upwards. D) Two figures leaping across rooftops against the coming dawn. E) A pocketwatch--or is it? Constellations and continents cover the front, the body of the watch engraved with runes. It's sitting on ancient parchment. F) A wax stamp with removable chits that function as coins in a card game. G) The lords of the city overlooking grand canals and issuing edicts. They are dressed in fine red robes and silks. H) Assorted bones and shells used for divination and more.

The Call would take her eventually. But not today. Today, she was already running late. “Shit!” Tilaani snatched her cloak from the icy stalagmite she had been using as a hanger and staggered to a slim crack in the cliff face. It had been a century since the passage had opened in one of El’Drek’s rages but the frozen stone was still jagged, tugging at her shirt as she sidled through, thin cloak clutched in one hand. Wind whistled through the crevice, peppering her exposed skin with hard snow. It melted, steaming as it touched her. Time within the cavern had always been malleable, misaligned with the world outside. Shinac had always claimed the shifts were random but Tilaani had her doubts. It always seemed to stretch whenever she was in a hurry. She wouldn’t put it past any of the dead—either Blessed or Barred—to extend time merely to inconvenience her. And now, backing up this theory, the sun was high overhead and the few hours she had spent being lectured by the Ancients had become nearly an entire night and day in the land of the living. Allak would be insufferable if she was late.

The next wave rushed in to claim its prize, sucking the body back down the beach as it withdrew. “I suppose we’ll see.” Her father shielded his eyes with a hand, silver hairs shining in the sun as he squinted inland. “Body can’t be too old.
