COLORED TELEVISION

Narrator Kristen Ariza lends her expert skills to this intimate character study. The story follows Jane, a biracial author who is struggling with finishing her novel, which she believes to be revolutionary. She moves her family near Hollywood, where she meets a producer who wants to make her book into a television show. Jane is a complex character who is often skeptical, and when she is met with the usual difficulties while navigating Hollywood, she becomes even more suspicious. Ariza narrates Jane's perspective with care, which is imperative for a story grounded in the issues of mixed-race people. The performance will also challenge listeners with the characters' authentic thoughts and emotions. A great listen for fans of contemporary fiction.
