A dark, provocative, adrenaline-rush of a novel about a graduate student who murders bad men and justifies it in the name of feminism, by a bold new voice in fiction A wry and erudite take on the dark-academia genre.--The Atlantic A darkly comic novel about the tricky politics of race, sex, violence and love . . . entertaining (and quietly damning).--Elle NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR (SO FAR) BY MARIE CLAIRE AND ESQUIRE
She just wants to know what justice feels like. Yrsa is bored: bored with her PhD program, her entitled students, and the never-ending pages of racial violence and feminist theory she has to read. But most of all, she's bored with the men in her life--especially the bad ones. And then, one sunny afternoon, she accidentally kills one. Suddenly a problematic professor is dead, and Yrsa, well--she's no longer bored. Emboldened, she starts to chase the high, and soon no misbehaving sexist man within commuting distance is safe. Finally Yrsa's academic research feels useful. But how long can killing in the name of feminist and racial solidarity justify her actions? And how long until her actions--and buried family secrets--come back to unravel her?
