Snakebite

More about the book

Bitten by fame, fallen by the same, redemption comes in many forms for Johnny: drugs, guns, sex, and alcohol. He's an aged-out Hollywood actor seeking redemption from his wild past, one filled with guilt, shame, and loss. A rising Indigenous screenwriter wins a competition filling her with a pure desire to nest in the City of Angels and make her hard work known to all. Their worlds collide. SNAKEBITE's gritty, shifting points of view lead to a powerful meditation on Indigenous race in North America. Guisy's story could take place, even in its darker moments, almost unchanged today. Today is the rise of the Indigenous Renaissance, shedding light upon North America's cracked reflection which has casted a derogatory and murderous portrayal of the Native person. It is not a North American Native that is despised. It is her experience. Snakebite brings this to the forefront for a rich audience experience.
