Alaya (pronounced ah-lie-ah) lives, writes, cooks and (perhaps most importantly) eats in New York City.

at first I was really into this and then it dragged. June grows during the novel, but so much of her internal thoughts are "I LIVE FOR ART I LOVE ENKI GIL IS MY FRIEND I HATE MY MOTHER" eventually I thought that June doth protest too much about living for art. There are definitely some cool ideas.
