Eat the Document is a compelling story of activism, sacrifice and the cost of living a secret. It tells the story of two lovers, passionately committed 1970s anti-war protesters who, as a consequence of choices made back then, have had to erase their pasts, forge new identities and never see each other again.
Dana Spiotta illuminates the buried connections between past and present – language, music, technology and activism – with coolness and precision, creating a multi-faceted portrait of three decades in America.
