KYLE'S PICK
āThank you for not trying to relate to meā is my favourite sentence in this book. You can thank a character named Moon for that. Y/N is about fandom and fantasy. It is a brilliant novel. - KB
Itās as if her life only began once Moon appeared in it. The desultory copywriting work, the boyfriend, and the want of anything not-Moon quickly fall away when she beholds the idol in concert, where Moon dances as if his movements are creating their own gravitational field; on livestreams, as fans from around the world comment in dozens of languages; even on skincare products endorsed by the wildly popular Korean boyband, of which Moon is the youngest, most luminous member. Seized by ineffable desire, our unnamed narrator begins writing Y/N fanficāin which you, the reader, insert [Your/Name] and play out an intimate relationship with the unattainable star.
Surreal, hilarious, and shrewdly poignant, Y/N is a provocative literary debut about the universal longing for transcendence and the tragic struggle to assert oneās singular story amidst the amnesiac effects of globalization. Esther Yiās prose unsettles the boundary between high and mass art, exploding our expectations of a novel about āidentityā and offering in its place a sui generis picture of the loneliness that afflicts modern life.
Paperback | 224 pages | 5.50" x 8.25"
