Product Information

One of The New Yorker's "Books We Loved in 2017," a BOMB's Looking Back on 2017: Literature Selection, a Paris Review Staff Pick, and one of Vulture's 10 Best Thriller Books of 2017. Girlfriend. Prostitute. Addict. Terrorist? Who is K? The daring new novel from Katherine Faw, the brilliant author of Young God , is a scintillating story of money, sex, and power told in Faw's viciously sharp prose. A high-end, girlfriend-experience prostitute has just returned to her native New York City after more than a decade abroad--in Dubai, with a man she recalls only as the Sheikh--but it's unclear why exactly she's come back. Did things go bad for her? Does she have scores to settle? Regardless, she has quickly made herself at home. She's set up a rotation of clients--all of them in finance--each of whom has different delusions of how he is important to her. And she's also met a man whom she doesn't charge--a damaged former Army Ranger, back from Afghanistan. Her days are strangely orderly: A repetition of dinners, personal grooming, museum exhibitions, sex, Duane Reades (she likes the sushi), cosmology, sex, gallery shows, nightclubs, heroin, sex, and art films (which she finds soothing). She finds the pattern confirming, but does she really believe it's sustainable? Or do the barely discernible rifts in her routine suggest that something else is percolating under the surface? Could she have fallen for one of her bankers? Or do those supposedrifts suggest a pattern within the pattern, a larger scheme she's not showing us, a truth that won't be revealed until we can see everything ?

Reviews
"Faw's second novel (after Young God ) pulses with an irresistible voice and the sense of impending catastrophe . . . Faw's writing is raw . . . an exceptionally clear and memorable prose style." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Young God "Badass." -- Vanity Fair "Addictive." --Jeva Lange, Vice "Seductive . . . Reading [ Young God ] is like having a bottle rocket go off in your hands." --Lisa Shea, Elle "A powerful portrait of humanity in the face of everyday atrocity . . . It's a quick read but likely to leave even the sturdiest stunned." --Eimear McBride, The Guardian "Invoking the dysfunctional families and bleak landscapes of Flannery O'Connor, William Faulkner, and Dorothy Allison . . . Young God is boundary-pushing fiction at its best." --Julie Hakim Azzam, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Sweet Jesus is Young God terrifying and great. Katherine Faw Morris's style is singular and ferocious and Nikki is one of the toughest, most electrifying, most unforgettable heroines I have ever encountered on the page. This is a furious blaze of a book that will rough you up and reorder your sense of the world and what's possible in it. It's a debut for the ages. Read it." --Laura van den Berg, author of The Isle of Youth "Radical, and at times shocking . . . An altogether remarkable debut." --Peter Carty, Financial Times "Like a bullet, like a bolt of lightning, like a speeding car, this debut novel goes faster and harder than anything you're likely to read this year." --Stacey D'Erasmo, author of The Art of Intimacy "Katherine Faw Morris delivers a brassknuckled gut-punch." --Alex Houston, Newcity Lit "Poetic, grim, and beautifully dark . . . Morris writes with splendid economy, chapters short as contes, and plenty of slashing insights on the rough world of throwaway lives and varieties of wrong." --Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter's Bone, Praise for Ultraluminous "Startling, poignant, raw . . . The success of Faw's seismic story lies in a protagonist who, however improbably her life, is dynamic, true, and ultimately her own savior. Daring and original." --Katharine Uhrich, Booklist "Faw's second novel (after Young God ) pulses with an irresistible voice and the sense of impending catastrophe . . . Faw's writing is raw . . . an exceptionally clear and memorable prose style." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Young God "Badass." -- Vanity Fair "Addictive." --Jeva Lange, Vice "Seductive . . .

Morris writes with splendid economy, chapters short as contes, and plenty of slashing insights on the rough world of throwaway lives and varieties of wrong." --Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter's Bone, " Ultraluminous is a sort of American Psycho from the prostitute's point of view, a damning, often hilarious account of toxic masculinity and Wall Street money culture." --Alexandra Schwartz, The New Yorker " A confirmation of the grimmest feelings of the age--a nasty, nihilistic, gorgeous little novel . . . Ultraluminous is the dirtiest, most timely literary bomb. It's a fantasy novel for furious, anti-capitalist misandrists, and I read no other book that I loved half as much last year." --Philippa Snow, GARAGE " As this brief, propulsive novel rushes toward its inevitable climax, it manages to be both an excoriating takedown of capitalism and a semi-sincere ode to the drugstore/fancy food grotesquery that is Duane Reade sushi." --Maris Kreizman, Vulture "There is a drum-like rhythm to Katherine Faw's cold-hearted thriller, Ultraluminous , a repetitive pounding of stick to skin that builds bit by bit in speed and fervor, the tension drawing tighter and tighter until it implodes upon itself . . . Faw's ability to use repetition as a tool is beautiful thing to withhold . . . Faw's unyielding writing style, her tight rein over the book's pace is breathtaking." --Noah Sanders, The East Bay Review "Startling, poignant, raw . . . The success of Faw's seismic story lies in a protagonist who, however improbably her life, is dynamic, true, and ultimately her own savior. Daring and original." --Katharine Uhrich, Booklist "Faw's second novel (after Young God ) pulses with an irresistible voice and the sense of impending catastrophe . . . Faw's writing is raw . . . an exceptionally clear and memorable prose style." -- Publishers Weekly, " Ultraluminous is a sort of American Psycho from the prostitute's point of view, a damning, often hilarious account of toxic masculinity and Wall Street money culture." --Alexandra Schwartz, The New Yorker "A portrait of New York City's decadence rendered in lacerating high definition...The rage is disturbing and propulsive: it's rare to read female anger rendered so unapologetically." --Nadja Spiegelman, The Paris Review (Staff Picks) " A confirmation of the grimmest feelings of the age--a nasty, nihilistic, gorgeous little novel . . . Ultraluminous is the dirtiest, most timely literary bomb. It's a fantasy novel for furious, anti-capitalist misandrists, and I read no other book that I loved half as much last year." --Philippa Snow, GARAGE " As this brief, propulsive novel rushes toward its inevitable climax, it manages to be both an excoriating takedown of capitalism and a semi-sincere ode to the drugstore/fancy food grotesquery that is Duane Reade sushi." --Maris Kreizman, Vulture "In a midnight-black pitch this slim book covers #metoo, New York's income gap, toxic masculinity, even terrorism. It's a shard of glass under your fingernail." -- BOMB "There is a drum-like rhythm to Katherine Faw's cold-hearted thriller, Ultraluminous , a repetitive pounding of stick to skin that builds bit by bit in speed and fervor, the tension drawing tighter and tighter until it implodes upon itself . . . Faw's ability to use repetition as a tool is beautiful thing to withhold . . .
