I’ll Take You There centers on Felix, a film scholar who runs a movie club in what was once a vaudeville theater. While setting up a film in the projectionist’s booth, he’s confronted by the ghost of Lois Weber, a trailblazing motion picture director from Hollywood’s silent film era. Lois invites Felix to revisit—and in some cases relive— scenes from his past as they are projected onto the cinema’s big screen. In these magical movies, Felix reflects on the women who profoundly affected his life. There’s his daughter, Aliza, a Gen Y writer who is trying to align her postmodern feminist beliefs with her lofty career ambitions, his sister, Frances, with whom he once shared a complicated bond of kindness and cruelty, and Verna, a fiery would-be contender for the 1951 Miss Rheingold competition. Against the backdrop of politics and pop culture, family secrets, and Hollywood iconography, Felix gains an enlightened understanding of the pressures and trials of the women closest to him, and of the feminine ideals and feminist realities that all women, of every era, must face.
