Agnes Maurer seeks a willing murderer and wonders what she should wear. Candidates include: an icy magazine editor with a special cutlery set; an eccentric designer from her past; and Agnes's cruel novelist boyfriend. As she Ubers from Upper East Side shopping to Craigslist gun deals, Agnes' desperation becomes an exhibition, a swan song of millennial sexuality as internalized abuse and consummate style, with the knob righty-tightened all the way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNewton's prose is disturbingly fun, relentless, shattering. A crafted study of existential despair that culminates in a worthy, intense denouement.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57596270149958,"sku":"9781639738564","price":26.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/bb7e6d2bd5a230dde66e5b10cb0253c631de2343153bd7a84ae442aa9c5d881b.jpg?v=1791986478","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/products\/agnes-lives","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
