The future future
Thirlwell, Adam, 1978-2024
Book
It's the 18th century, and Celine is in trouble. Her husband is mostly absent. Her parents are elsewhere. And somewhere men are inventing stories about her - about her affairs, her sexuality, her orgies and addictions. All these stories are lies, but the public loves them - spreading them like a plague. Celine watches as her name becomes a symbol for everything rotten in the world. This is a world of decadence and saturation, of lavish parties and private salons, of tulle and satin and sex and violence. It's a universe ruled by men - all high on colonial genocide, natural destruction, crimes against women and, above all, language. To survive it, Celine and her friends must band together in search of justice, truth and beauty.
