A polyphonic spectacle of Hollywood predation and excess, I Met Someone centers on the story of Academy Award-winning actress, Dusty Wilding; her much younger wife, Allegra; and their friend Jeremy with whom they are trying to have a child. After Allegra suffers a miscarriage, Dusty embarks on a quest for her long-lost daughter, searching for an answer to a question that has haunted her for decades. With masterful suspense, Bruce Wagner moves among the perspectives of his characters, revealing their individual trauma and the uncanny connections to one another’s past lives. I Met Someone brings the reader into a familiar Wagnerian landscape, down a rabbit hole of the human psyche to confront our cultural obsession with wealth and fame.
