Description
Kathy is a writer, about to embark on a lifelong commitment - marriage. It's the summer of 2017 and the world is falling apart. As she navigates this new chapter, Kathy finds herself changing, alongside the shifting landscapes of politics, society, and nature.
The planet is hotting up, fascism is on the rise, and truth seems lost. Can it be worth learning to love when the end of the world feels near? Olivia Laing's novel explores these questions through a blistering rewire of the form, inspired by the life and work of Kathy Acker.
A raw and funny account of love in the apocalypse, Crudo is a powerful exploration of art, commitment, and survival in uncertain times.
