Kathy is a writer. Kathy is getting married. It's the summer of 2017 and the whole world is falling apart.
From a Tuscan hotel for the super-rich to a Brexit-paralysed UK,
Kathy spends the first summer of her 40s trying to adjust to making a
lifelong commitment just as Trump is tweeting the world into nuclear
war. But it's not only Kathy who's changing. Political, social and
natural landscapes are all in peril.
Fascism is on the rise,
truth is dead, the planet is hotting up. Is it really worth learning to
love when the end of the world is nigh? And how do you make art, let
alone a life, when one rogue tweet could end it all. Olivia Laing
radically rewires the novel in a brilliant, funny and emphatically raw
account of love in the apocalypse.
A Goodbye to Berlin for the
21st century, Crudo charts in real time what it was like to live and
love in the horrifying summer of 2017, from the perspective of a
commitment-phobic peripatetic artist who may or may not be Kathy Acker .
