"She had no idea what to do with love, she experienced it as
invasion, as the prelude to loss and pain, she really didn't have a
clue." Kathy is a writer. Kathy is getting married. It's the summer
of 2017 and the whole world is falling apart. Fast-paced and
frantic, Crudo unfolds in real time from the full-throttle
perspective of a commitment-phobic artist who may or may not be
Kathy Acker. From a Tuscan hotel for the superrich to a
Brexit-paralyzed United Kingdom, Kathy spends the first summer of
her forties adjusting to the idea of a lifelong commitment. But
it's not only Kathy who's changing. Fascism is on the rise, truth
is dead, the planet is heating up, and Trump is tweeting the world
ever-closer to nuclear war. How do you make art, let alone a life,
when one rogue tweet could end it all? In Crudo, her first work of
fiction, Olivia Laing radically rewires the novel with a fierce,
compassionate account of learning to love when the end of the world
seems near.
