Aesthetica w/ Allie Rowbottom
from The Talking Book Podcast Hosted by The Talking Book
An excerpt from the debut novel by Allie Rowbottom. Propulsive, dark, and moving, Aesthetica is a Veronica for the age of “Instagram face,” delivering a fresh, nuanced examination of feminism, #MeToo, and mother-daughter relationships, all while confronting our collective addiction to followers, filters, and faux realities. “This brutal tale of a teenage Instagram model teases out the ugliness of influencer culture against our rather ancient tradition of performative femininity. Under Allie Rowbottom’s patiently literary hand, this novel’s true gem lies in its central mother-daughter relationship—a reminder that our obsession with youth is never too far removed from what binds us to our lineage.” —Vanity Fair https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/709304/aesthetica-by-allie-rowbottom/ https://allierowbottom.com/
