Murder Bimbo
'Flays the political moment. At all levels, it is a blast' Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby
I'm a 32-year-old sex worker who just killed a politician. Please, please, please turn me into a feminist anti-hero.
A 32-year-old sex worker has just killed extremist political hopeful Meat Neck. Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits and a high-speed internet connection to save her own life.
Her best bet is to reach out to the wildly popular feminist investigative podcast Justice for Bimbos. In a hastily-typed series of emails, the newly-minted "Murder Bimbo" explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agents to take out Meat Neck.
But, when she starts a new set of emails, this time addressed to her ex-girlfriend, we begin to realize that Murder Bimbo might not be the unsuspecting cog she claims to be.
In a time where 'truth' is more flexible than ever before - who really is Murder Bimbo? And what will she do next?
Introducing an unforgettable character for our times: hyper-articulate, totally untrustworthy, politically murky, charmingly petty, and wholly egotistical - this is . . . MURDER BIMBO.
This is doing something totally fascinating and unexpected from a literary point of view . . . Each of its three sections the facts are the same . . . but the circumstances change ever so slightly so you are left wondering what the actual truth is. It's like Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff. It's got a little bit of Biography of X, Trust Exercise . . . It's a romp. The sex worker is having fun and we're having fun with her . . . the politics in this novel are thought through and cogent . . . An accomplishment' New York Times - The Books We're Looking Forward To This Winter
'Murder Bimbo is Gone Girl for the Luigi Mangione era, and Rebecca Novack is one of our funniest and most acerbic new writers' Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X
'I'm obsessed with this novel. The plot is propulsive as hell. This is destined to be a major debut, and I can't wait for it to happen' David Varno, Publishers Weekly
