Boy Parts

Product Information

Flo (i had to check her name, that's how memorable she is) is a rip off of Reva from MYORAR who exists to be the classic female friend in love with our female protagonist who does not and will not ever reciprocate her feelings.

Why bother with all that gaslighting of your acquaintances if you then don’t give a sh*t about being exposed. she is narcissistic and manipulative and is hyperaware of the power she holds over men and people in general. Some of my favorite books focus on people who are varying degrees of horrible or 'messy' ( my year of rest and relaxation, luster, madame bovary, sula, pretend i’m dead, you exist too much, apartment, symptomatic, these violent delights, and a lot of the stuff written by authors such as shirley jackson, danzy senna, and joyce carol oates). anyway bret easton ellis is a hack and i'm really drifting away from the point i was trying to make here. Although she wants to transgress accepted norms of behaviour she knows these norms are there to begin with so in certain spaces she comports herself in a certain way, her art is the only indicator that she is into some smutty kinky stuff.There are these amazing, scrappy DIY scenes all over the UK, but national and international success is preserved for a privileged handful of people who have connections. it is like AMERICAN PSYCHO, but better, because it delves into a lot of amazing social commentary about sexism, society's inability to see women as the perpetrators of violence because of that sexism, "woke" culture, art and how we consume it, and so much more. i think the author did this on purpose to give the reader the same manipulative effect as she gave the other characters in the book. A major ingredient in the story is her gaze and the gaze in general,” which is something they are exploring in the rehearsal process, mindful of the fact that performing the monologue alone to an audience brings an extra dimension.

The notion that characters – especially female ones – ought to be likable is something authors often have to fight against. From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer. this is definitely a niche read, i don't think it is for everyone, but if you like books that are minimal plot and a lot of craziness, pick this one up. Boy Parts follows Irina, a fetish photographer who scouts unconventionally attractive men on the streets of Newcastle to photograph them in her studio/garage.She’s naive, pathetic, obnoxious, solipsistic, cruel, and superficial…but I found her acts of self-dramatization to be both fascinating and a source of great amusement. I don't really possess the high emotional and mental capacity required to actually read and process this kind of stuff. And you might say that the narrative is less concerned about mapping out the creative process preceding these photos than with over-emphasising what the photos themselves signify. She takes you down the tracks of her prose so effortlessly, balancing the action of parties, photoshoots and…well, completely unhinged moments that often involve shards of glass, with the softer, introspective times revisiting Irina’s history in the classroom and behind the camera. This was a great book to chase WOMAN, EATING with, and if unhinged female artist characters are the new black, I know what I'll be swathing myself in this season.
