Nathan Porter, a young war veteran haunted by an atrocity he witnessed,
ends up in an animation studio in southern California, where his dismal
romantic history is upended by Violet Delmar, an older voice-over artist
known nationally as "The Voice." Violet's siren song wafts in and out of
Nathan's entire life, twisting through his misguided affairs and
marriage, until he finds himself awakened, thanks to Violet, about no
less than all of love and art. By turns haunting, humorous, and
touching, The Love Life of an Assistant Animator is about the less
familiar forms of deep connection that can end up rescuing us from
ourselves.
