A Novel

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.

Nina is a struggling writer, a college drop-out, a liar, and a cheater. More than anything she wants love. She deserves it. 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 narcissistic lesbian living in a nudist polycule; Odessa, a single mom with even worse taste in men than Nina; Seth, an artist whose latest show is comprised of three Tupperware containers full of trash; Brian, whose roller-coaster affair with Nina is the most stable "relationship" in his life; and Aaron, an aspiring filmmaker living at home with his parents, 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 an era defined by detachment.
