Description

Black Star A Novel by Maureen Medved is a dark comedy that explores the female experience, academia, and power. Del Hanks, a forty-year-old academic on the verge of tenure, navigates a world of sexual exploitation, manipulation, and subtle machinations of power. Medved's novel is a searing critique of our world, presented with poetic, tragic, disturbing, and funny elements. The story follows Delorosa Hanks as she refers to her academic rival as 'a lesion of carcinogenic proportions capable of rotting and destroying departments'. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems. With its biting humor and unflinching exploration of power dynamics, Black Star will lead you down a darkly compelling rabbit hole.
