Danzy Senna skewers a lot here- capitalism, Hollywood, gentrification, men acting like they’re the first people ever to have thoughts or feelings. But the heart of this novel comes from its layered depiction of a marriage between two artists, and the unsung dreams and stagnated desires that both drive and divide them. This book is hilariously funny, totally modern and possessed of a tone that can’t be described with a simple mash-up of other titles– one of my favorite books I read in 2024.
