Women's Fiction Psychological
I stalk a woman on the internet who is sleeping with the
same man as I am.
Sheena Patel’s
incandescent first novel begins with the unnamed narrator
describing her involvement in a seemingly unequal romantic
relationship. With a clear and unforgiving eye, she dissects
the behavior of all involved, herself included, and makes
startling connections between the power struggles at the
heart of human relationships and those of the wider
world. I’m a Fan offers a devastating
critique of class, social media, patriarchy’s hold on
us, and our cultural obsession with status and how that
status is conveyed.
In this unforgettable debut,
Patel announces herself as a dynamic, commanding new voice
in literature, capable of rendering a rollercoaster of
emotions and experiences viscerally on the page. Sex,
brutality, politics, work, art, tenderness,
humor—Patel tackles them all while making the reader
complicit in the inescapable trap of fandom that seems to
define the modern condition.
