...Village is the soap most self-consciously targeted to the Net's alternative-culture sensibility. Its heroine is Eve, a writer whose diary relates the goings-on of her barhopping social circle: Daphne, a struggling actress; Joe, a cartoonist who has a thing for Eve; and Mick, the resident slacker, the object of Eve's desire because "he is from the heartland; he's pretty honest; and he likes board games...

...five of these Gen-Xers work at Bowl and Brass, a cheesy Crate & Barrell/Pier One hybrid. Using flashblacks and present-day scenes, Matteau tells a series of interlinking stories about the protagonist Jen, her slacker-poet boyfriend Joe, Joe's exgirlfriend (and Jen's ex-best friend) Joan, Jen's boss Jack, who nurses crushes on both her and Joan, and June, the dippy new shift supervisor...
