Murder Bimbo - Rebecca Novack

Descriere

An exhilarating and provocative debut perfect for fans of My Sister the Serial Killer, Yellowface, and Killing Eve--the origin story of sex worker turned assassin turned unlikely folk hero, Murder Bimbo, as told by the Bimbo herself (and then revised, uncensored, and reconsidered). nA thirty-two-year-old sex worker is shocked when she's approached by undercover government agents to aid them in a top-secret plot to assassinate a politician known as Meat Neck. But once the deed is done, she realizes what made her the perfect recruit: She's 100% disposable. n n Holed up in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods, she now has only two days, her wits, and a laptop to save her own life. n n 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. n n Then she starts a new series of emails. This time, they're addressed to her ex, and the facts line up a little differently... n nConstructed in three increasingly unhinged acts, each a more subversive, twisted version of the story than the last, Murder Bimbo can be read as a gloriously bold literary thriller, a satirical megalomaniac's manifesto, or a raucous send-up of the political insanity we all live inside every day. Either way, it's a dead-serious announcement of an electric new voice in American literature.n
