Happiness and Love

Zoe Dubno

£9.99

Years after escaping her unbearable artworld life, an unnamed writer finds herself attending a dinner party hosted by Eugene and Nicole - an artist-curator couple - and attended by their pretentious circle. It's the evening after the funeral of a mutual friend, and if the narrator once loved and admired Eugene and Nicole and their important friends, she now despises them all. Most of all, however, she despises herself for being lured back to this hollow, bourgeois social setting. As the guests sip at their drinks, the narrator, from her vantage point in the corner seat of a white sofa entertains herself - and us - with a silent, tender, merciless takedown.
