"Love, first periods, last periods, bullying mothers, disappeared fathers, crazy sisters, children unborn, found, or gone, parents dying too fast or too slow, this apartment, that apartment, an eyebrow raised across a crowded room.” Four women are steeling themselves for their 35th high school reunion dinner. Lifelong friends, they have seen each other through They are a failed rock star, an awarded scientist, a work-obsessed misanthrope—and one of them is a deeply grieved ghost, whose untimely death has ruptured the once-solid quartet. Set over the course of one day running up to the reunion as a surprise snowstorm falls over New York City, and moving amongst the four perspectives, TALKING TO THE WOLF is like a Meg Wolitzer novel shot by filmmaker Nicole Holofcenerand blessed by Virginia Woolf. (It pole-vaults over the Bechdel Test.)
