About
The French novel taking the world by storm: an ultracontemporary “Dangerous Liaisons” about sex, feminism, and addiction.
Dear Dickhead,
I read the piece you posted on your Insta. You're like a pigeon shitting on my shoulder as you flap past. Congratulations: you've had your fifteen minutes of fame. The proof? The fact that I bothered to write to you.
Oscar is a B-list novelist in his forties. He used to be an alcoholic and a cokehead, but now he keeps himself busy by ranting on social media. When Rebecca, an actress whose looks he insulted, sends him an angry email, they strike up a combative correspondence, at the very moment that Oscar is accused of sexual harassment by his former publicist. What ensues is a no-holds-barred conversation about life under the patriarchy, and above all about addiction-to drugs, to alcohol, to the internet, to rage.
