Life for Ethan and Zo used to be simple. Ethan co-founded a lucrative media start-up, and Zo was well on her way to becoming a successful filmmaker. Then they moved to a rural community for a little more tranquility--or so they thought. When newfound political activism transforms Zo into a barely recognizable ball of outrage and #MeToo allegations rock his old firm, Ethan finds himself a misfit in his own life. Enter a houseguest who is young, fun, and not at all concerned with the real world, and Ethan is abruptly forced to question everything: his past, his future, his marriage, and what he values most. Ambitious, startling, witty, and wise, Ali Benjamin's debut novel offers the shock of recognition as it deftly tackles some of the biggest issues of our time. Taking inspiration from a classic Edith Wharton tale about a small-town love triangle, The Smash-Up is a wholly contemporary exploration of how the things we fail to see can fracture a life, a family, a community, and a nation.

Condición: Sehr gut. 352 S. The Smash-Up by Ali Benjamin is a bold, sharp and darkly comic novel about modern life, political tension, marriage, activism, social media and the difficulty of staying connected in a polarized world. Ethan and Zo once seemed to have a simple, successful life: he co-founded a media start-up, she was on her way to becoming a filmmaker, and their move to a rural community was meant to bring peace. But when Zo becomes consumed by political activism, accusations shake Ethan's old company, and a young houseguest enters their home, Ethan is forced to question his marriage, his past and the values he thought were secure. With biting satire, emotional insight and contemporary relevance, the novel explores how private lives can become political battlegrounds -- and how quickly comfort can turn into chaos. Small signature line: Modern life, but with extra panic, hashtags and marital turbulence.
