330 .. $a "A dreamy and adrenaline-fueled new novel from a two-time Granta Best Young Novelist
Lurid & Cute is a kind of machine for the reader's corruption. It opens with all the
things we've come to expect of Adam Thirlwell--"the playfulness of language, the way
the mandarin wit, line by line, consorts with grisly or louche material," as Jeffrey
Eugenides has said--when the narrator wakes confused in a seedy hotel room. He has
had the good education, and also the good job. Together with his wife and dog, he
lives at home with his parents. But then the lurid overtakes him--a chain of events
that feels to those inside it narcotic and neurotic, like one long and terrible descent:
complete with lies, deceit, and chicanery, and including, in escalating order, one
orgy, one brothel, and a series of firearms disputes. Lurid & Cute balances the complexity
of an interior world--our hero's apparently innocent obsessions with food, old movies,
and all the gaudy, shoddy building blocks of pop culture--with a picaresque plot delivered
with expert, insidious pacing. For very possibly this is the story of a woebegone
and global generation. And our hero, the sweetest narrator in world literature, also
may well be the most fearsome. It's the most sophisticated and gruesome novel from
an author celebrated for his precocious talents, and it will leave you feeling like
you've been on one hell of a bender"
