Aprašymas
A "binge-worthy novel" (Kiley Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Come and Get It) following a theater critic at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe who writes a vicious one-star review of a struggling actress he has a one-night stand with in this sharply funny, feminist tinderbox.
A WASHINGTON POST AND NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - ONE OF GLAMOUR'S BEST BOOKS FOR BOOK CLUBS "Excellent...a fiery reminder that we still have so far to go when it comes to men behaving poorly and getting away with it."--LitHub Infamous theater critic Alex Lyons knows his verdict by the time the curtain comes down--either a five-star rave or a one-star pan. On the opening night of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, he doesn't deliberate over the scathing review he writes for Hayley Sinclair's show. Nor does he hesitate when the opportunity presents itself to have a one-night stand with the struggling actress.Unaware that she's gone home with the critic who's just written a career-ending review of her show, Hayley wakes up at his apartment to see his hatchet job in print. In a brilliant act of revenge, she revamps her one-woman show into a viral sensation critiquing Alex Lyons himself--entitled son of a famous actress, serial philanderer, and by all accounts a terrible man. As his reputation goes up in flames, he insists on telling his version of events to his colleague Sophie. Through her eyes, we see that the deeper she gets pulled into his downfall, the more conflicted she becomes.
A brilliant Trojan horse of a book about art, power, and misogyny, Bring the House Down is a searing, insightful, and hilarious debut that captures the blurred line between reality and performance.
