The year is 1975 and Reno--so-called because of the place of her birth--has come to
New York intent on turning her fascination with motorcycles and speed into art. Her
arrival coincides with an explosion of activity in the art world--artists have colonized
a deserted and industrial SoHo, are staging actions in the East Village, and are blurring
the line between life and art. Reno meets a group of dreamers and raconteurs who submit
her to a sentimental education of sorts. Ardent, vulnerable, and bold, she begins
an affair with an artist named Sandro Valera, the semi-estranged scion of an Italian
tire and motorcycle empire. When they visit Sandro's family home in Italy, Reno falls
in with members of the radical movement that overtook Italy in the seventies. Betrayal
sends her reeling into a clandestine undertow. - from cover p. [2]
