"The Sleep-Over Artist is an account of critical stages in Alex's life, mapping his progress from youthful delinquent to filmmaker whose career begins when he makes a documentary film exposing the prep school from which he has been expelled. Alex longs for the taste of family life that the early death of his father has denied him.
As a young boy he sleeps over at his friends' houses and ingratiates himself with their families; as a young man he extends his sleep-overs to the lives of women, culminating in the ultimate sleep-over - an affair in England with a glamorous, slightly older woman, the mother of a young boy. As he presses his nose against the glass of seductive affluence and seemingly seamless familial congeniality, Alex devises strategies to claim this world for his own."--BOOK JACKET.
