Description
Heralding the arrival of “a huge literary talent (Karl Ove Knausgaard), Megan Nolan''s riveting debut is “a blistering anti-romance (Catherine Lacey) about love addiction and what it does to us.Wouldn''t I do anything to reverse my loss, the absence of him?</I><BR <BR In the first scene of this provocative gut-punch of a novel, our unnamed narrator meets a magnetic writer named Ciaran and falls, against her better judgment, completely in his power. After a brief, all-consuming romance he abruptly rejects her, sending her into a tailspin of jealous obsession and longing. If he ever comes back to her, she resolves to hang onto him and his love at all costs, even if it destroys her...BR
Acts of Desperation</I>renders a consciousness split between rebellion and submission, between escaping degradation and eroticizing it, between loving and being lovable. With unsettling, electric precision, Nolan dissects one of life''s most elusive mysteries: Why do we want what we want, and how do we want it?Acts of Desperation</I>interrogates the nature of desire, power, and toxic relationships, challenging us to reckon honestly with our own insatiability.
