About the Book
“Deviously intelligent...Irresistible.” —The New York Times Book Review • “M**der Bimbo is Gone Girl for the Luigi Mangione era.” —Catherine Lacey, author of Biography of X
The exhilaratingly twisty story of a sex worker turned political assassin on the run, M**der Bimbo is an unputdownable and wholly fresh take on truth, M**der, and optics in our national moment.
A 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.
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.
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 “M**der Bimbo” explains how she was recruited and then trained by a cabal of code-named US agents to take out Meat Neck.
Then she opens a new email. This time, it’s addressed to her ex, and the facts line up a little differently…
Constructed in three increasingly unhinged acts, each a more subversive version of the story than the last, M**der Bimbo can be read as a gloriously bold literary thriller, a satirical vigilante'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.
