Praised by The New Yorker as “her spiny and treacherous masterpiece”
The New Yorker hailed the book as “her spiny and treacherous masterpiece.”
A holiday with a dark destination
An office worker’s trip south begins as a pursuit of passion and sexual adventure, but the description frames the journey around a final, terrible day in an unnamed city. That contrast gives the novel’s travel premise an unsettling edge: escape and desire are set against mortality, with infinity and eternity named as part of its metaphysical terrain. The source offers little detail about the city or the events there, so the book’s central pull lies in the tension between Lise’s stated search and the ominous destination awaiting her.
