Her husband is mostly absent. Her parents are elsewhere. And meanwhile men are inventing stories about her--about her affairs, her sexuality, her orgies and addictions. All these stories are lies, but the public loves them and spreads them like a virus. Celine can only watch as her name becomes a symbol for everything rotten in society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a world of decadence and saturation, of lavish parties and private salons, of tulle and satin and sex and violence. It's also one ruled by men--high on colonial genocide, natural destruction, crimes against women, and, above all, language. To survive, Celine and her friends must band together in search of justice, truth, and beauty. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFantastical, funny, and blindingly bright, Adam Thirlwell's \u003ci\u003eThe Future Future\u003c\/i\u003e follows one woman on an urgently contemporary quest to clear her name and change the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Thirlwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250338298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250338297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.38w x 1.00d","brand":"Adam Thirlwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897621963007,"sku":"9781250338297","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_591de5db-36cb-47e8-a155-9a24760556d9.jpg?v=1721374356","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-future-future-adam-thirlwell-9781250338297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
