Show Biz Story
When Jane agrees to house-sit for a friend for a year and moves her family into his gorgeous Los Angeles home, she's sure it'll inspire her to finally finish her second novel. Then she gets the chance to develop a biracial comedy with a big TV producer, so she goes for it. Will this be the thing that leads to the success that's eluded her...or is she selling out? The biting, incisive, and hilarious Colored Television by Danzy Senna skewers Hollywood culture while offering a thoughtful take on how creatives balance making art with making a living.
