True Love

Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

One of today's most provocative literary writers--the author of the acclaimed Sunshine State and Los Angeles Times First Fiction Award finalist Binary Star--captures the complicated and confused state of modern romance and the egos that inflate it in a dark comedy about love addiction, toxic masculinity, and a woman's search for acceptance, identity, and financial security in the rise of Trump. Nina is a struggling writer, an addict, a cheater, and a liar. After dropping out of college to go to rehab, she wants more than anything to leave her past behind, start her life over, and find love. From the burned-out suburbs of Florida to the anonymous squalor of New York City, she eats through an incestuous cast of characters in search of it: her mother, a polyamorous lesbian; Odessa, a single parent with even worse taste in men than Nina; Seth, an artist whose latest show is comprised of three Tupperware containers full of trash; Brian, a sleazy editor whose stories never quite add up; Daniel, a newly sober indie rocker whose tour is over before it starts; and Aaron, an aspiring filmmaker with whom Nina begins to write her magnum opus. Nina's quest for fulfillment is at once darkly comedic, acerbically acute, and painfully human--a scathing critique of contemporary society, and a tender examination of our anguished yearning for connection in a world where we're fundamentally alone.
