MADE FOR LOVE
From one of our most exciting and provocative young writers, a poignant, riotously funny story of how far some will go for loveand how far some will go to escape it.
Hazel has just moved into a trailer park of senior citizens, with her father and Dianehis extremely lifelike sex dollas her roommates. Life with Hazel's father is strained at best, but her only alternative seems even bleaker. She's just run out on her marriage to Byron Gogol, CEO and founder of Gogol Industries, a monolithic corporation hell-bent on making its products and technologies indispensable in daily life. For over a decade, Hazel put up with being veritably quarantined by Byron in the family compound, her every movement and vital sign tracked. But when he demands to wirelessly connect the two of them via brain chips in a first-ever human mind-meld, Hazel decides what was once merely irritating has become unbearable. The world she escapes into is a far cry from the dry and clinical bubble she's been living in, a world populated with a whole host of deviant oddballs.
As Hazel tries to carve out a new life for herself in this uncharted territory, Byron is using the most sophisticated tools at his disposal to find her and bring her home. His threats become more and more sinister, and Hazel is forced to take drastic measures in order to find a home of her own and free herself from Byron's virtual clutches once and for all. Perceptive and compulsively readable, MADE FOR LOVE is at once an absurd, raunchy comedy and a dazzling, profound meditation on marriage, monogamy, and family.
Alissa Nutting is the author of Tampa and the short story collection Unclean Jobs for Women and Girls, which won the Starcherone Prize for Innovative Fiction. She is an assistant professor of creative writing and English literature at John Carroll University.
