Slow Reveal
Set in 1990s New York, Slow Reveal paints an extraordinary portrait of artists who defy the arbiters of culture and challenge social norms. Art, addiction and family dynamics capsize the Kanes when they discover the parallel life of Katharine, film editor, mother, lover and wife.
“A poem is never finished, only abandoned,” wrote Paul Valéry, an outcome echoed in her decade-long affair with Naomi, a lesbian poet. Katharine’s marriage to Jonathan collapses in his struggle with sobriety when he’s ostracized for politicizing art and abandons his career for advertising. Faced with confrontations from her two grown daughters, an installation artist and an aspiring writer, Katharine hangs onto her former life. When unforeseen tragedy strikes, devotion and commitment are not the guardrails that keep their work or relationships on track but rather a form of entrapment.
A captivating story about relevance at the end of the 20th century, the novel questions the voracious demands of contemporary society through a riveting portrayal of turbulent family life, impacted by art shaped by the media and influenced by social and political injustice. Success is redefined by the courage to embark on the artistic process, as risky, messy and unpredictable as building intimacy and trust in love.
“Loving is an art in Melanie Mitzner’s ambitious debut about a discordant family of eclectic artists whose lives are thrown into question with an unexpected death. Told with compassion and intelligence, this poignant tale of love, longing and addiction provides a vivid look into the lives of talented and troubled creators, each yearning for relevance and lasting connection.”

Slow Reveal drew me in from the beginning. I looked forward to learning more about each character throughout the book, and was sorry to say goodbye to them when I finished the last page. Melanie Mitzner's vivid use of language gave me the opportunity to visualize and feel every part of the novel.

Well Crafted Prose
Written as a poet would with highly descriptive prose. New York City is as much a character as the humans inhabiting Slow Reveal, imperfect and loved.

What a triumph of storytelling! If you enjoy a Jonathan Franzen novel (which I really do), then you'll love Slow Reveal. I wasn't sure what the title meant but all was revealed in beautiful, perfectly-timed detail. I loved the exploration of how we yearn for clearly impossible happy endings and tidy solutions (that frankly, don’t have a snowball's chance in hell of ever succeeding) – but, how things can also be so much better than we could ever have imagined. I’m reminded of Kintsugi (‘golden joinery’), also known as Kintsukuroi (‘golden repair’), which is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the broken pieces together with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
Evidence of Melanie Mitzner’s truly lovely prose flows off every page. Rich characterizations and sensual descriptions brought this book instantly to life in a gorgeous cinematic way. I also loved the exploration of what it means to be an artist, a writer, a poet.

Melanie Mitzner, acclaimed playright, bursts onto the scene with a gorgeous and deeply compelling debut novel. Set in 1990s NYC, the story centers on Katherine, a film editor, and Naomi, a poet, who are engaged in a complicated decade-long extra-marital affair. Art, addiction, family dysfunction are just a few of the themes Mitzner plumbs in her story. The dialogue sings. My favourite part of this novel is the brilliant parallel Mitzner draws between navigating the messy, unpredictable and risky path to love and intimacy with the equally messy, unpredictable and risky path and process of creating art. This is an enveloping read that will keep you up at night. Highly recommended.

Slow Reveal is a rarity: an immensely readable yet psychologically and emotionally complex novel that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page. I can’t remember a novel that was so astute about the similarities of art and love. With its beautifully limned characters, its gorgeous prose, and the important questions it poses about how we live our lives and how we express those lives in art, Slow Reveal is a wonderfully engaging and sophisticated novel.

As an artist, I found this novel really fascinating. How the author drew a parallel between the rigors of the creative process and the challenge of building intimacy in love. A passionate story about longing and art where New York itself is a character. Below the surface lurks family dysfunction - the legacy of our family history and how that influences our trajectory in life, in our careers and our relationships. Why do we sabotage what we want most? How do we overcome what we perceive as our limitations to excel in the work we do? How do we learn to love? What struck me most was how Melanie Mitzner justifies making art for art itself and not succumbing to art as a commodity, which is so prevalent today with the rise of NFTs that takes the "fine" out of fine art. If you love novels that transport you, that transcend banality, that go deep, this is the book for you.

A joy to read. Mitzner utterly succeeds in telling this intricate story of two women, a poet and a film editor, in which the literary and filmic slow reveal of the title sustains the reader's interest from start to finish. Deeply philosophical and profoundly human, one is drawn into the lives of a multi-generational family in which making art, and living a life well-lived, are investigated with heart, intelligence and passion. Slow Reveal is a quiet and urgent page-turner about devotion and intimacy, and what it means to find love and meaning in the process of becoming increasingly true to oneself through the years.

Human life is knitted in a complex fabric where confusion, fear and disorder take up much of its space. We are born into this fabric and then we are left on our own to make sense of it all while also trying to lead worthwhile lives. Although we might be surrounded by people who try to help and mean well, oftentimes they cannot make sense of their own lives, let alone other people’s. The family is not exempt from this. Friends and relatives are there to help us, but the paradox is that sometimes (not always, of course) those who are closest, are the ones who can harm us the most, directly or indirectly. Our family history and genetics surely influence our lives, but to what extent? And to what extent can we blame the destiny of our own lives on that? This was some of my internal dialogue as I was reading this deep, honest novel by Melanie Mitzner.
Slow Reveal is a raw, yet wonderful and, at various levels, a real portrayal of the complexity of family dynamics. It focuses on the Kane family, a family of artists where everybody -parents and children alike- is trying to find their way in the chaos of a life in pursuit of art and where self-acceptance is not entirely evident. The exquisite prose of Melanie Mitzner took me by the hand on every page, on a journey where I felt as though I was hovering above each character, closely observing their thoughts, following their actions, getting to know them so well that in the end I could easily understand their reasons, even if at times I didn’t agree with them. This resulted in something I experience with other high-quality novels: the fictitious drama became my own drama as I merged with the characters, understanding their insecurities and addictions, their passions and fears, making me feel as if I was one of them, and wondering what I would do if I were in such situations.
My thoughts at the end of the book: Finding one’s own voice is no easy task and embracing that voice once we find it may be an even bigger challenge. Understanding who we are is a first step but deciding to embody that persona and to live by it is the ultimate step, fundamental if we are to speak our own truth, to live freely, and to love freely. Getting there is our responsibility; at times it becomes a life-long pursuit, but it might be the most important pursuit of all. Failing at that may result in rupturing that delicate fabric of life, leading to consequences that will eventually ripple outwards, affecting others in our path, including, most probably, our loved ones.

‘You don’t trust people, you trust love’ – love in the arts
Author//screenwriter/journalist Melanie Mitzner has received accolades and awards in all areas of her expertise and now place before her public her debut novel SLOW REVEAL. She lives in both Montréal and New York
Creating strong characters who serve as standard bearers for significant social themes is obviously a trait Melanie owns. Her prose is fluid and eloquent and her ability to seduce the reader into her rich novel is obvious, even in the opening lines – ‘Katherine leaned the shovel against the cedar shingles of the house and looked out over the sea of white snow, once a field of cauliflower and cabbages. Now monochrome, everything had lost its color. Moving through this amorphous universe, her own sharp angles sliced right through it. Maybe work was the problem, sitting in the dark, going over and over the same frames. She’d been editing the film Free Fall, the first woman to jump from an aircraft without a safety net. The perfect metaphor as she cut in and out of the sequence, which felt interminable like a dream. Eventually she had lost track and couldn’t tell a filmed image form the real one…’
On the book’s back cover the summary of this novel is well presented – ‘Set in 1990s New York, SLOW REVEAL pints an extraordinary portrait of artists who defy the arbiters of culture and challenge social norms. "A poem is never finished, only abandoned," wrote Paul Valéry, an outcome echoed in the ten year on/off extramarital affair between Katharine, a film editor and Naomi, a lesbian poet. Set in New York in the 90s, art, addiction and family dysfunction culminate in Katharine's attempt to reconcile her marriage. But when her love for the poet prevails, she must face confrontations with her two grown daughters, an artist and a writer mired in addiction. Art is front and center in the novel. The precariousness of the artistic process is as risky, messy, and unpredictable as building intimacy and trust in love. Devotion and commitment are not the guard rails that keep a work or relationship on track but rather a form of entrapment…’
Both impressive and immersive, this novel shines on many levels – the permutations of family, addiction, and love. The book is a marvelous read, a story that changes the way we perceive. Highly recommended.

Slow Reveal by Melanie Mitzner is a unique story about family, relationships, art and life. Katherine, a film editor, is in an open marriage with Jonathan, an artist whose work was panned for being “too political.” She is also in a long-term love affair with Naomi, a successful poet who has been kept out of Katherine’s family life, and in particular, the lives of her two now-adult children. The story is also about these two children: Ellie, an artist like her father, and Brigitte, a possibly budding writer who struggles with drug dependency. The reader meets other characters such as Jonathan���s father and sister, Katherine’s brother, and an assortment of people who circulate in and out of our main characters’ lives.
The setting of the novel is New York City in the nineties, and the author’s depiction of this time and place is both understated and convincing, comparing favourably with usual “sweep past the Empire State Building, peek at the Brooklyn Bridge, flash on Times Square” approach of some who place their stories in the city of my birth. Likewise, Mitzner’s characters are portrayed in a way that is both realistic—including selfish thoughts and deeds—and kind. We see how people faced with struggles including the death of a loved one, mental health, betrayal, financial instability, and loss of intimacy still manage to keep going, and in some cases, to continue making art with integrity.
One difficulty I had with the novel was all the head-jumping. One moment you were in the thoughts of a certain character, and the next moment, without warning, you were in another’s. For this reader, the result was confusion rather than a sharpening of the characterizations, and a feeling of always being a little behind the ball since it took a moment or two to figure out in which point-of-view we were now immersed. On the other hand, this approach created a kind of collage or mosaic effect, which helped to nicely reinforce thematics around art and connectedness.
I strongly recommend this novel, especially to readers who enjoy LBGTQ+ stories, stories about art and politics, urban fiction, and novels about family and relationships.

I recently had the good fortune of winning two books from a list of 318 books ranging from works I already own to authors with whom I was unfamiliar. I could have easily chosen books that happened to already be on my Amazon Shopping List, and been done with it, but what an opportunity to broaden my horizons. I was intrigued by so many unknown books by authors whose names I had never heard. Besides, I love a little research project. I spent the next few days looking up the authors and books on Amazon, Goodreads, and The Lesbian Review. Early in the process, I settled on one book in particular, Slow Reveal by Melanie Mitzner. It turns out that Ms. Mitzner is an accomplished screenwriter. Reading the reviews for Slow Reveal certainly piqued my interest. It only had thirteen ratings, but all of them were five-stars. I would not miss this opportunity.
It’s not often that readers of lesbian fiction are treated to a work of literary fiction so beautiful that it makes you want to tell everyone you know, and everyone you do not know as well. This is a book where you highlight a passage on nearly as many pages as you do not. I admit that it has one more five-star rating because I love this book. I loved it so much that I bought a hardcopy to add to my library, as I intend to revisit the story again and again.
I am unwilling to spoil any aspect of the book for future readers, so in general terms it is about art, death, both nuclear and found families, love, intimacy, past and present struggles with addiction, trust-building, acceptance, relationships broken and under construction. All those issues make for a mess, just like real-life. This is not one of those glossy, word count, churned out books littered throughout the genre. It is a beautifully told story about the messiness and joy of life.
Please read this book. Ms. Mitzner deserves a following worthy of her talents.

I kept seeing this as a Netflix drama series. Nicole Kidman staring as Katharine.
Melodrama of the privileged white class is not my preferred genre, but this is a first novel written by a friend so I bought it- and ultimately enjoyed it.
So 4 well earned stars.
The themes of death, decay and dysfunction are intense. I didn’t get enough sense of the characters to love them or hate them, but an exceptional standout was Mandy, the ‘papa,’ who comes across as the most authentic, and I would have like to known him better.
A screenplay version, set in a more contemporary time, might really work!

Deftly crafted and all the more impressive considering that "Slow Reveal" is author "Melanie Mitzner's debut as a novelist, the complex story will have specially appeal to readers who enjoy the kind of originality and narrative driven literary that comprises this tale of precarious love and loss of inherently fascinating relationships. While highly recommended for community library Literary Fiction collections, "Slow Reveal" is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $11.99).
August 15, 2022
In one word, Mitzner's story is visceral. She has crafted very real characters the reader can connect with. There's no black or white when it comes to the characters. Their woven throughout the story, faults and all. The end result is a novel that is captivating and thought inspiring.
February 1, 2024
I wanted to like it more than I did. The major characters (except Mandy) expressed every thought that came into their heads; their self-obsession and self-doubt was ultimately off-putting to this reader.

As an ex New Yorker and an artist, I loved how vividly author Melanie Mitzner brought back memories of living in the East Village of 1990's Manhattan. Navigating the vibrant art world as it intersected Queer culture and the ongoing HIV crisis, she weaves a tale of love, loss and forgiveness among the shifting sands, and occasional quicksand, of a traditional family and the families we choose. Told with unflinching honesty, it is a testament and a tale for us all.
November 27, 2022
3.5 Rounded up.
There was something about this story that just didn't connect with me. It was too busy, too fast paced like there was too much going on in some ways.
I couldn't really seem to picture or care about anyone in the book.
It just seemed like it was all over the place.
There are some interesting themes explored like long term relationships, addiction and family but just didn't grab me the way I wanted.
