The Diviners

After a break of eight years, Rick Moody, the author of THE ICE STORM, returns to fiction with THE DIVINERS, which examines the emptiness that lies at the heart of the oversized, overblown ambitions of the American entertainment industry. In December 2000, the election recount drags on, gripping the country with unrest. The future seems uncertain, but various players in the film and television industry have more important things to worry about: they're busy battling over the rights to THE DIVINERS, a miniseries about dowsing that doesn't even have a script and is supposedly inspired by a novel that no one actually seems to have read.
