All I Ask
All I Ask | Eva Crocker
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Like Sally Rooneys Conversations with Friends and Eileen Myless Chelsea Girls, All I Ask by the award-winning and highly acclaimed author Eva Crocker is a defining novel of a generation. A little before seven in the morning, Stacey wakes to the police pounding on her door. They search her home and seize her computer and her phone, telling her theyre looking for illegal digital material. Left to unravel whats happened, Stacey must find a way to take back the privacy and freedom she feels she has lost. Luckily, she has her friends. Smart and tough and almost terrifyingly open, Stacey and her circle are uncommonly free of biases and boundaries, but this incident reveals how they are still susceptible to societys traps. Navigating her way through friendship, love, and sex, Stacey strives to restore her self-confidence and to actualize the most authentic way to live her life one that acknowledges both her power and her vulnerability, her joy and her fear. All I Ask is a bold and bracing exploration of what its like to be young in a time when everything and nothing seems possible. With a playwrights ear for dialogue and a wry, delicate confidence, Eva Crocker writes with a compassionate but unsentimental eye on human nature that perfectly captures the pitfalls of relying on the people you love.

A sexy, realistic portrayal of the complicated lives of contemporary women in their twenties. The first-person narrator is Stacey, an awkward aspiring actor. Her part-time jobs barely pay enough to get by in St John's, Newfoundland. Her story opens with police storming in through her front & back doors with a warrant. Full review:

Longlisted for the #gillerprize Eve Crocker's debut is centered around 20 somethings that are struggling in today's world. Struggling to make enough money, struggling to find their purpose, struggling to identify who they are in a world with so much pandemonium. Youth that have been brought up on technology, social media's influences and fluid sexuality. Fans of Sally Rooney will enjoy this one I think. Looking forward to more from this author!

We left, walking down Gower Street holding the hot chocolates. There were big flakes of snow coming down—normally the parade would be cancelled, but it had already been postponed three or four times due to bad weather.

Most of what I know about the bible I learned from Jesus Christ Superstar, starring Ted Neeley. […]
We loved the high priests. We wrapped ourselves in navy sheets & stalked back & forth across the coffee table, singing along. Vic hated Jesus, she hated his lank blond hair & she thought his voice was whiny. When he stormed through the temple & smashed a slowly rotating rack of mirrors she sighed. “What a drama queen.”

wanderinglynn I love ALW‘s musicals. And in JCS, I loved Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene. 4y
Lindy @wanderinglynn Didn‘t see JCS except as a high school performance, but I too have loved the music since I was a teenager 🎶 4y
Ruthiella I love this musical-though I‘ve only seen the film. My favorite parts are those sung by Carl Anderson...amazing performance. 4y

xicanti In my first year at uni, I took a children‘s lit class where we read Narnia. My discussion group was agog I knew so much about the Christian symbolism. “You must be super religious,” one girl said. “Nah,” I said. “I‘ve just seen Jesus Christ, Superstar six times.” 4y
