Description
A debut novel of extraordinary scope and confidence, Barbarians is a fresh and contemporary exploration of love, art, and politics. Set against the backdrop of late capitalism's crisis in 2008, the story follows a young woman named Elizabeth "Buzzy" Price as she navigates the complexities of her own ambitions and the moral complacency of those around her. As Buzzy's fortunes rise, the lives of those closest to her begin to unravel. Her relationships with her family, friends, and even herself are put to the test. With a 19th-century sensibility, the author masterfully weaves together themes of art, politics, and love, creating a narrative that is both nuanced and thought-provoking. With its unique blend of contemporary issues and timeless concerns, Barbarians is a novel that will resonate with readers looking for a fresh and engaging story.
