Overview
Notes From Your Bookseller Unhinged in the best way possible, this is a novel that presents itself initially as the story of an inequal relationship but evolves into blistering commentary on race, patriarchy, consumer culture, and our use of social media. You'll burn through these 216 pages quickly – and the unnamed narrator's voice will stick with you long after you've put this book down. “A fast, fizzing cherry bomb of a debut” (The Observer [UK]) about power, intimacy, and the internet I stalk a woman on the internet who is sleeping with the same man as I am. Sheena Patel’s incandescent first novel begins with the unnamed narrator describing her involvement in a seemingly unequal romantic relationship. With a clear and unforgiving eye, she dissects the behavior of all involved, herself included, and makes startling connections between the power struggles at the heart of human relationships and those of the wider world. I’m a Fan offers a devastating critique of class, social media, patriarchy’s hold on us, and our cultural obsession with status and how that status is conveyed. In this unforgettable debut, Patel announces herself as a dynamic, commanding new voice in literature, capable of rendering a rollercoaster of emotions and experiences viscerally on the page. Sex, brutality, politics, work, art, tenderness, humor—Patel tackles them all while making the reader complicit in the inescapable trap of fandom that seems to define the modern condition.
