Awad, Mona

Fans of Atwood, R.F. Kuang, and Marisha Pessl will savor this book, whose heady, unsettling intellectualism builds on Awad’s reputation as one of today’s boldest feminist satirists.

Intertwining a great deal of intrigue as she moves rapidly toward an enigmatic conclusion, Awad (13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl) uses lyrical descriptions and metaphors throughout that lend a bit of whimsy to an otherwise dark story that defies categorization. [See Prepub Aldert, 12/17/18.]
