A nesting doll of a book that grapples with perspective and memory, and the battles between creative ambition and love.

The Mythmakers begins in a Brooklyn apartment. Sal, a former magazine staffer and now somewhat aimless freelancer, opens the latest issue of The Paris Review to read a story by a much older writer, Martin Keller, who made a great impression on her years ago at one of her first literary parties. Much to her shock, the story is about...her, and the moment they shared together. The details are there, it is undeniable, and supposedly this story is part of a yet-unpublished novel. Sal, who has been trying and failing to balance the demands of art and life, and who feels increasingly desperate as her twenties come to a close without her having accomplished anything she deems worth notice, is consumed with a hunger to read the rest of the story. Her story. But when Sal attempts to learn more, she discovers that Martin has died, and this story was published posthumously.

Amid her own life and relationships going increasingly sideways, Sal impulsively
decides to find Martin’s widow and try to get the unpublished manuscript. Seeing
more of how Martin thought of her, how she influenced an undeniably great writer
who noticed and valued the real her, the writer in hiding—surely his book would
show Sal the path forward, the right door to open at this painful, confusing, and
dangerous juncture in her life? But then Sal meets Moira, who turns out to be
much more than Sal bargained for. For Moira, Sal discovers, is certain SHE is the
main character in Martin’s story. Who does the truth belong to?
