Nora loves Patti Smith. Nora is Patti Smith. Nora is stoned out of her mind in the Chelsea Hotel, but the Chelsea Hotel is her mind, no, the Chelsea Hotel is an out-of-use portable classroom in the Pacific Northwest, and that portable classroom is a breeding ground for young women. A coming-of-age story about art, theatre, friendship, grief, and desire from Kallan Dana, Lobster captures the distance between who we are in high school and who we want to be—and the courage and desperation it takes to bridge that gap.
