A smart, savage and hilarious debut exploring love, sexuality, purpose - and the delicious absurdities of online life
?For fans of Patricia Lockwood and Alexandra Tanner ... A tale of internet longing and obsession that leads to self-discovery' OurCulture
________________________________________________
Elsa is struggling. Her formative, exhilarating relationship - with an older couple - has abruptly ended, leaving her depressed and directionless in her childhood bedroom. In the relationship's wake, Elsa scrolls aimlessly through the internet in search of meaning.
Faithfully, her screen provides a new obsession: a charismatic young actor whose latest feature is a gay love story that illuminates Elsa's crisis. And then, as if she had conjured him, the actor arrives in her hometown, with an entourage of fellow actors, writers, and directors, for the annual theatre festival. When she is hired at the one upscale restaurant in town, Elsa finds herself thrown into in contact with the actor and his circle.
But her obsession shifts from the actor to his frequent dinner companion - an alluring, androgynous person called Sam. As this confusing connection develops, Elsa is forced to grapple with her sexuality, the uncomfortable truths about the end of her last relationship, and the patterns that may be playing out once again.
Unflinchingly sharp and funny, Misrecognition is an unforgettable debut novel about the internet, post-postmodern adulthood and queer identity.
