Sweet Fury

When a beloved actress is cast in a feminist adaptation of a Fitzgerald classic, she finds herself the victim in a deadly game of revenge in which everyone, on screen and off, is playing a part. "A breathlessly fun, dark, and twisty tale of feminist revenge." --Lisa Genova, New York Times bestselling author of Still Alice Lila Crayne is America´s sweetheart: she´s generous and kind, gorgeous and magnetic. She and her fiancé, visionary filmmaker Kurt Royall, have settled into a stunning new West Village apartment and are set to begin filming their feminist adaptation of Fitzgerald´s Tender Is the Night. To prepare for the leading role, Lila begins working with accomplished therapist Jonah Gabriel to dig into the trauma of her past. Soon, Lila´s impeccably manicured life begins to unravel on the therapy couch--and Jonah is just the man to pick up the pieces. But everyone has a secret, and no one is quite who they seem. A twisty, thought-provoking, "wildly imaginative" (Joyce Carol Oates) novel of construction and deconstruction in conversation with the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sweet Fury is a bold critique of America´s deep-rooted misogyny. With this novel, Bischoff probes the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator and examines the true meaning of justice.
