A love story like no other.'Karl Ove Knausgaard'Hot as viscera.' The New RepublicA 'blistering antiromance' (Catherine Lacey) about love addiction and what it does to us. Wouldnt I do anything to reverse my loss, the absence of him?In the first scene of this provocative gutpunch of a novel, our unnamed narrator meets a magnetic writer named Ciaran and falls, against her better judgment, completely in his power. After a brief, allconsuming romance he abruptly rejects her, sending her into a tailspin of jealous obsession and longing. If he ever comes back to her, she resolves to hang onto him and his love at all costs, even if it destroys herPart breathless confession, part lucid critique, Acts of Desperation renders a consciousness split between rebellion and submission, between escaping degradation and eroticizing it, between loving and being lovable. With unsettling, electric precision, Nolan dissects one of lifes most elusive mysteries: Why do we want what we want, and how do we want it?Heralding the arrival of a stunning new literary talent, Acts of Desperation interrogates the nature of fantasy, desire, and power, challenging us to reckon honestly with our own insatiability.
