Özet
Marion May is in desperate need of a win. She’s directed two films, both flops. And if she can’t land the third, she may never get to make another. But she was put here to make movies, she knows it, she just needs to convince everyone else.
Fate or good fortune takes Marion to a Lakers game, where she is sat beside Jaz Jones. Graceful and magnetic, exactly as a WBNA player should be, Jaz is hard to ignore, and she has a pitch for Marion's next film: her coach's story.
Harper Kidd was a rising star of the women’s basketball world in the 1950s until one night when everything unravelled and she was forced to leave the game and the team she so loved. It is not until a young, fiercely talented Jaz enters her world that Harper finds her way back to the court and to herself.
Marion is hooked. On Harper’s story, on Jaz, on the way she feels when she’s in their world. Inspired by these women who fought to play, to be seen and to love, Marion begins to see that making movies might be only one part of who she is…
Kate Fagan’s Instant Classic is a love letter to women’s sports and queer identity. It explores how the stories we tell can bridge decades, heal old wounds, and lead us back to who we truly are.
'A book about movies, romance, basketball, parents and parent-figures, and how a rich life can be lived even if the world is against you.' Booklist

Eleştirmen yorumları
Instant Classic is a sparkling, heartfelt ode to the hard-won history of women’s sports and the transformative power of being part of a team (on and off the court). Fagan skillfully weaves together a cast of ambitious women navigating questions of what makes a family and what we must learn (and unlearn) to love ourselves. Rich with intergenerational friendships, Instant Classic is a delight! (Portia Elan, author of Homebound)
I locked into Marion's voice as soon as she dryly observes on page one that 'humans are the least regal of the apex predators.' In Instant Classic, Kate Fagan braids together the perspectives of a neurotic filmmaker, a swaggy basketball star, and an iconic but forgotten coach into a novel about ambition, art, and the fraught work of becoming yourself. (Anna Dorn, author of American Spirits)
Intricately and exquisitely plotted
A young film director takes a gamble on the narrative of a trailblazer in women's basketball, which leads her to face her own hidden truths, in this heartfelt novel about queer love, women's sports, and the power of storytelling.
