Description
The Superrationals by Stephanie LaCava is an erotic and darkly comic novel about female friendship set at the intersection between counterculture and the multimillion-dollar art industry. When Mathilde takes a short leave from her job to follow her best friend on an impromptu trip, she confronts her past and re-evaluates her life.
As Mathilde navigates her chaotic thoughts and emotions, she uses her observations of artworks as a way to organize herself. Featuring a unique blend of voices, the novel coolly surveys the international art and media worlds while exploring game theory, the uncanny, and psychoanalysis.
This novel confronts the complexity of building narrative in life and on the page, and the instability that lies at its heart. With its unique blend of dark humor and insightful commentary, The Superrationals is a thought-provoking read for fans of feminist literature and art world enthusiasts alike.
