Description
Astrid Dahl's career is on the line when she receives an unexpected call from her agent about actress and influencer Kat Gold wanting to adapt her previous novel for TV. But as Astrid navigates this new opportunity, she finds herself torn between two women: Ivy, a grad student researching 1950s lesbian pulp who smells like metallic orchids, and Penelope, a painter living off Urban Outfitters settlement money with a scent that's unmistakably patchouli. As Astrid tries to balance her writing life with her newfound distractions, she must confront the pressures of fame and the darkness of her own past. With its unapologetic blend of humor, steaminess, and feminist commentary, Perfume and Pain is a hilarious and thought-provoking homage to the lesbian pulp of yore. Anna Dorn's novel is a masterful exploration of desire, identity, and the complexities of female relationships in modern life.
