Description
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 correspondenceat 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 addictionto drugs, to alcohol, to the internet, to rage.
Virginie Despentes, the celebrated author ofKing Kong Theory, has written her breakthrough book: aDangerous Liaisonsfor our time. We follow Rebecca and Oscar as they develop an unlikely friendship and argue over questions of right and wrong in a cityPariswhere pleasure, excess, and freedom rule the day, or used to.Dear Dickheadis a guns-blazing novel about a culture that makes men and women sick, and about how the search for feeling leaves us addicted to what makes us feel. The result is a provocative and unmissable book from the author hailed byThe Guardianas Frances rock and roll Zola.
