Description
A groundbreaking, anachronistic experiment in literature informed by the countertraditions of New Narrative and queer writing
Judith, an academic celebrity, and Wendy, a slightly less famous academic celebrity, fall in love. They break up. In her ensuing grief, Wendy finds herself in a pornographic, epistolary haze that slumps toward the narrative. Fueled by the only things that cut through the pain--sex and democratic theory--Wendy takes us along on her wild ride toward self-actualization. In Claire Star Finch's first novel, love and the void question each other in action.
Claire Star Finch (born 1988) is a Paris-based experimental writer and performer. In 2024 they completed a doctorate in Gender Studies at the University of Paris 8 that explores the literary queerfeminisms of Kathy Acker, Hélène Cixous, Violette Leduc and Audre Lorde.
