I Fear My Pain Interests You

by Stephanie LaCava - £9.99  Verso Books (2022)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781839766022 | ISBN 10: 1839766026

An absurdist novel about fame, culture and connections, bodies and breakdowns from the author of The Superrationals.
 
Margot’s on her way to Montana, with blood on her face and a jeweled cigarette case full of pills. She’s fresh from a bad break-up and fleeing the cold comforts of her famous family – legendary punk parents and an overbearing show business scion of a grandmother.
 
But while the eyes of the world are elsewhere for the first time in Margot's life, a graveyard encounter with a disgraced doctor and the discovery of a dozen old film reels leads to a troubling new subjecthood, as her congenital inability to feel pain puts her center stage for one man’s desire and ambition.
 
A jarringly sensual book about the peculiarities of our bodies and the impossibilities of our families, and a young woman trying to find a way forward with both.
