The year is 1975 and Reno - so-called because of the place of her birth - has come to NY intention on turning her desire for motorcycles and speed into fine art. Her appearance coincides with an explosion of activity in the fine art world - painters have colonized a deserted and commercial SoHo, are staging activities in the East Community, and are blurring the series between life and fine art. Reno meets several dreamers and raconteurs who post her to a sentimental education of sorts. Ardent, vulnerable, and vivid, she commences an affair with an artist called Sandro Valera, the semi-estranged scion of Italian car tire and street motorcycle empire. If they visit Sandro's house in Italy, Reno falls in with members of the radical activity that overtook Italy in the seventies. Betrayal transmits her reeling into a clandestine undertow. The Flamethrowers can be an intensely interesting exploration of the mystique of the female, the imitation, the terrorist. At its middle is Kushner's brilliantly became aware protagonist, a girl on the verge. Exciting and fearless, this is a significant American book from a author of spectacular skill and imagination.
