About this ebook
When a beloved actress is cast in a feminist adaptation of a Fitzgerald classic, she finds herself the victim in a deadly game of revenge in which everyone, on screen and off, is playing a part.
“A breathlessly fun, dark, and twisty tale of feminist revenge.” —Lisa Genova, New York Times bestselling author of Still Alice
Lila Crayne is America’s sweetheart: she’s generous and kind, gorgeous and magnetic. She and her fiancé, visionary filmmaker Kurt Royall, have settled into a stunning new West Village apartment and are set to begin filming their feminist adaptation of Fitzgerald’s Tender Is the Night.
To prepare for the leading role, Lila begins working with accomplished therapist Jonah Gabriel to dig into the trauma of her past. Soon, Lila’s impeccably manicured life begins to unravel on the therapy couch—and Jonah is just the man to pick up the pieces. But everyone has a secret, and no one is quite who they seem.
A twisty, thought-provoking, “wildly imaginative” (Joyce Carol Oates) novel of construction and deconstruction in conversation with the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sweet Fury is a bold critique of America’s deep-rooted misogyny. With this novel, Bischoff probes the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator and examines the true meaning of justice.
