Description

I stalk a woman on the internet who is sleeping with the same man as I am.

Sheena Patel's incandescent first novel begins with the unnamed narrator describing her seemingly unequal romantic relationship. With a clear and unforgiving eye, our narrator dissects the behavior of all involved, herself included. Sex, brutality, politics, social media, work, art, tenderness, humor--Patel tackles them all in this blistering novel while making the reader complicit in the inescapable trap of fandom that seems to define the modern condition.
