The story of a Polish actress who comes to America, not to be an actress, but to live quietly in a commune-like setting with her entourage of admirers. She discovers she can't stop acting so returns to the stage.
I have to say I didn't care for it very much. Too rambling and unfocused. The "zero" chapter and the last chapter are confusing and unnecessary. What does the protagonist want? Where is her conflict? Other than coping with her life as a actress, where is the story?
And it won the National Book Award...
