À propos de ce produit
Product Information
"Audacious, breathtaking, and inspiring." --GEORGE SAUNDERS "Madcap, delirious, exhilaratingly good." --KELLY LINK "A delightfully bizarre and unabashedly queer revelation." --TEGAN and SARA QUIN "A beautifully brilliant, hilariously sad stunner of a debut that never forgets about the heart." --NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH What if you had the chance to rewrite the course of your relationship, again and again, in the hopes that it would work out? When Myriam and Allison fall in love at a show in a run-down punk house, their relationship begins to unfold through a series of hypotheticals. What if they became mothers by finding a baby in an alley? What if the only cure for Myriam's depression was Allison's flesh? What if they were B-list celebrities, famous for writing a book about building healthy lesbian relationships? How much darker--or sexier--would their dynamic be if one were a power-hungry CEO, and the other her lowly employee? From the fantasies of early romance to the slow encroaching of violence that unravels the fantasy, each reality builds to complete a brilliant, painfully funny portrait of love's many promises and perils. Equal parts sexy and profane, unsentimental, and gut-wrenching, How It Works Out is a genre-bending, arresting, uncanny exploration of queerness, love, and our drive for connection, in any and all possible worlds.

Reviews
I loved this book. It's like nothing else I've read. Every single page kept me guessing--it's rare to read something so delightfully strange., "What an audacious, breathtaking, and inspiring debut. The power of this formally innovative and deeply funny book is that everything exists to serve the compassionate heart at its core. Myriam Lacroix's work is a cause for celebration."-- GEORGE SAUNDERS, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo and Liberation Day, The shape-shifting, speculative history of a Great Love, in which any distinction between what really happened, what might have happened, and what couldn't possibly have happened is thrillingly moot. Funny and lusty and wistful and bold; best of all, How It Works Out genuinely feels unlike anything you've read before., Deliriously silly and sharply written. A bold debut, hilarious and thoughtful in equal measure, unafraid to make fun of itself while never toppling with its absurdity., What an audacious, breathtaking, and inspiring debut. The power of this formally innovative and deeply funny book is that everything exists to serve the compassionate heart at its core. Myriam Lacroix's work is a cause for celebration., [A] provocative first novel . . . Lacroix's experiments with a multiverse structure and body horror generate potent symbols for the struggles of queer relationships, as does her biting wit . . . Readers won't soon forget Lacroix's singular voice., LaCroix's debut novel . . . follows a lesbian couple as their relationship falls to pieces across a number of possible realities. The increasingly fascinating and troubling potentialities--B-list feminist celebrity, toxic employer-employee tryst, adopting a street urchin, cannibalism as relationship cure--form a compelling image of a complex relationship in multiversal hypotheticals., Lacroix has written a beautifully brilliant, hilariously sad stunner of a debut that never forgets about the heart., "I loved this book. It's like nothing else I've read. Every single page kept me guessing--it's rare to read something so delightfully strange."-- KRISTY LOGAN, author of Now She Is Witch, "Hilarious, heart-rending, grotesque, delightful, utterly brilliant." DAISY JOHNSON, author of Everything Under, An early contender for Best Premise: when Myriam and Alison fall in love at a local punk show, their relationship begins to play out as different hypotheticals in different realities. What if the two of them became bestselling lifestyle celesbians? What if they embraced motherhood upon finding an abandoned baby in alley? What if one was a CEO and the other was her lowly employee?, [A] mesmerizing novel-in-stories . . . No matter the scenario, Lacroix shows a gift for cutting to the heart of things: the way you inevitably open yourself up to both injury and transformation when you try to love and be loved . . . As kaleidoscopic as the queer experience, this is an introduction to a writer of great imagination., "[A] provocative first novel . . . Lacroix's experiments with a multiverse structure and body horror generate potent symbols for the struggles of queer relationships, as does her biting wit . . . Readers won't soon forget Lacroix's singular voice."-- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, " How It Works Out is madcap, delirious, exhilaratingly good."-- KELLY LINK, author of The Book of Love, "Myriam and Allison meet and fall in love at a punk house show, and their story then spirals out into a series of fantasies and hypotheticals in this truly ambitious . . . and genre-bending debut novel."-- AUTOSTRADDLE, "An early contender for Best Premise: when Myriam and Alison fall in love at a local punk show, their relationship begins to play out as different hypotheticals in different realities. What if the two of them became bestselling lifestyle celesbians? What if they embraced motherhood upon finding an abandoned baby in alley? What if one was a CEO and the other was her lowly employee?"-- ELECTRIC LITERATURE, Most Anticipated of 2024, "In How It Works Out , we see wonderfully different iterations of Myriam and Allison that all work together in the most satisfying and unexpected ways. Lacroix writes with a brave heart, a fiercely inventive mind, and a breathtaking ability to render it all in precise, stellar sentences. A hilarious, unsettling, and moving debut."-- DANA SPIOTTA, National Book Award finalist and author of Wayward, " How It Works Out is a delightfully bizarre and unabashedly queer revelation; a truly captivating exploration of love. Myriam Lacroix's kaleidoscopic first novel invites you to embrace the unconventional and revel in the multiverse of 'what-ifs' we only wish we could explore in our own relationships. We loved it."-- TEGAN AND SARA QUIN, New York Times bestselling authors of High School, "LaCroix's debut novel . . . follows a lesbian couple as their relationship falls to pieces across a number of possible realities. The increasingly fascinating and troubling potentialities--B-list feminist celebrity, toxic employer-employee tryst, adopting a street urchin, cannibalism as relationship cure--form a compelling image of a complex relationship in multiversal hypotheticals."-- THE MILLIONS, Most-Anticipated of 2024, How It Works Out is a delightfully bizarre and unabashedly queer revelation; a truly captivating exploration of love. Myriam Lacroix's kaleidoscopic first novel invites you to embrace the unconventional and revel in the multiverse of 'what-ifs' we only wish we could explore in our own relationships. We loved it., "Hilarious, heart-rending, grotesque, delightful, utterly brilliant."-- DAISY JOHNSON, author of Everything Under, "[A] mesmerizing novel-in-stories . . . No matter the scenario, Lacroix shows a gift for cutting to the heart of things: the way you inevitably open yourself up to both injury and transformation when you try to love and be loved . . . As kaleidoscopic as the queer experience, this is an introduction to a writer of great imagination."-- KIRKUS REVIEWS, Starred Review, [The book's] prose is brilliant. It's sophisticated and smart, and at the same time, it melts on the tongue like candy and is quick to digest . . . A gorgeous, speculative exercise in romance that's as bound together as it is fragmented. I predict [Lacroix's] style of writing will inspire imitations of this surreal, broken, sewn together tapestry of a story, told deliberately and nonsensically. I was half sad this was a debut because I wanted there to be more., In How It Works Out , we see wonderfully different iterations of Myriam and Allison that all work together in the most satisfying and unexpected ways. Lacroix writes with a brave heart, a fiercely inventive mind, and a breathtaking ability to render it all in precise, stellar sentences. A hilarious, unsettling, and moving debut., "Lacroix has written a beautifully brilliant, hilariously sad stunner of a debut that never forgets about the heart."-- NANA KWAME ADJEI-BRENYAH, New York Times bestselling author of Friday Black and Chain-Gang All-Stars, Myriam and Allison meet and fall in love at a punk house show, and their story then spirals out into a series of fantasies and hypotheticals in this truly ambitious . . . and genre-bending debut novel., "The shape-shifting, speculative history of a Great Love, in which any distinction between what really happened, what might have happened, and what couldn't possibly have happened is thrillingly moot. Funny and lusty and wistful and bold; best of all, How It Works Out genuinely feels unlike anything you've read before."-- JONATHAN DEE, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Sugar Street
