Summary:
Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by Lit Hub and The Millions
'Sestanovichs elegant prose takes seriously the quiet unrest that can ravage a life' - Raven Leilani, author of Luster
Astonishing one of the best story collections Ive read in a long time Brandon Taylor, Booker-shortlisted author of Real Life
A college freshman, flying home, strikes up an odd, ephemeral friendship with the couple next to her on the airplane. A long-lost stepbrothers visit to New York prompts a reckoning with a familys old taboos. An office worker, exhausted by the ambitions of the men around her, emerges into the gridlocked city one afternoon to make a decision. A wife, looking at her husband's passwords neatly posted on the wall, realizes there are no secrets left in their marriage.
In these eleven short stories, thrilling desire and melancholic yearning animate womens lives from the brink of adulthood, to the labyrinthine path between twenty and thirty, to middle age, when certain possibilities quietly elapse. With powerful observation and mordant humour, Clare Sestanovich opens up a fictional world where intimate and uncomfortable truths lie hidden in plain sight.
Objects of Desire is a book pulsing with subtle drama, rich with unforgettable scenes and alive with moments of recognition, each more startling than the last a spellbinding, brilliant debut.
