My First Book

Resumen del libro

Startling, provocative stories that grapple with the online reality we all inhabit, where clicks, codes and memes shape identities, personas and reputations. In My First Book, Honor Levy endeavours to contextualize Gen-Z, a generation of young people desperate to discern what matters in a world that paints every event as a catastrophe. Irony is the salve of choice, and Levy deploys it masterfully. She paints the chasm in understanding between her parents' generation and the Zoomer reality overloaded with niche signs and meanings. Idiosyncratic stories full of edgy humour, for readers of Patricia Lockwood, Ben Lerner, Megan Nolan, Sheena Patel, Saba Sams and Eliza Clark. Honor Levy is a true It Girl of the New York literary scene, and a graduate of Bennington - the liberal arts college in Vermont attended by Donna Tartt and Bret Easton Ellis, among other illustrious names.
