Produktbeschreibung
Michael J. Wilson's character-driven debut captures the loneliness of urban millennial life and the peril of becoming enamored with strangers solely through their social media personas. "Contessa became a fixture in my mind a year ago when I saw her board the train." So begins protagonist Adrian Bellinger's obsession-a chance encounter with a strange woman ignites a pursuit that exposes the numb intimacy of the digital age. Dissecting the culture of online behavior in the not-quite-here-and-now of Brooklyn, New York, Let Me Look at You is both a seductive whisper and a frustrated demand suggesting that the thresholds of pathological behavior have shifted as technology changes our daily habits and behaviors. For fans of Teju Cole's Open City and Michel Houellebecq's The Possibility of an Island, Let Me Look at You introduces a promising new voice in the literary landscape.
