"I can write the pants off any man," declares Sybil
Weatherfield, the plucky hero of Jennifer Spiegel’s Love
Slave. A literary novel set in 1995 New York, Love Slave
follows Weatherfield and her strange friends as they
frustrate chick-lit expectations (though they’re unaware
that they’re doing so) in this uproarious, genre-breaking
spree. By day Sybil is an office temp, and by night she’s a
columnist for New York Shock, a chatty rag in which she
writes a column called "Abscess" — a wound that never heals.
Her friends include a paper-pusher for a human rights
organization, and the lead singer of a local rock band
called Glass Half Empty. Full of cultural detail, mid-'90s
observations, and early adulthood anxieties, Weatherfield’s
story of finding love ultimately casts an ironic eye on what
it means to be a love slave.
