Description
The Booker Prize nominee’s propulsive tale of intergenerational tension and revenge with the comic zest of Maria Semple or Taffy Brodesser-Akner.
“Every successful marriage has its own private language.” So it is for baby-boomer Kate and her architect husband, Jack, decades into their comfortable metropolitan life together, and for millennial television writer Phoebe and her charming loafer of a partner, Tony. But everything changes when a steamy Netflix show called Cheating becomes the much-talked-about megahit of the moment—and somehow seems to include intimate details of their marriage that only Kate and Jack could ever have known. Who has cheated whom? Who has stolen whose story—and why? A black comedy of love, trust, entitlement, and revenge, Look What You Made Me Do is a suspenseful story of two very different women and two very different generations, and a battle only one of them can win.
About the Author: John Lanchester is the author of five novels, including the best-selling The Debt to Pleasure and Capital. His books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages, and he is a regular contributor to the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books. He lives in London.
Advance Praise
"Good, mean fun. The prize-winning author of Capital and The Wall reminds us why he is a big deal in this hall-of-mirrors revenge comedy set among London’s chattering classes. . . . Two steely women go head to head in this ingeniously plotted page-turner, a sure-fire hit." -The Bookseller
"An absolute riot. It’s both a black comedy of revenge and entitlement and a complex portrait of ?millennial/?boomer conflict." -Observer
"The Booker-longlisted author makes a punchy return with this darkly comic, Black Mirror-style novel." -Times
"A black comedy of entitlement and generational resentment set amid the metropolitan elite." -Guardian
"This dark comedy about the clash between the generations is set to be a great succès de scandale." -Tatler
"If Phoebe Waller-Bridge had a score to settle." -Stylist
