Agnes Maurer seeks a willing murderer and wonders what she should wear. Candidates include: an icy magazine editor with a special cutlery set; an eccentric designer from her past; and Agnes's cruel novelist boyfriend. As she Ubers from Upper East Side shopping to Craigslist gun deals, Agnes' desperation becomes an exhibition, a swan song of millennial sexuality as internalized abuse and consummate style, with the knob righty-tightened all the way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNewton's prose is disturbingly fun, relentless, shattering. A crafted study of existential despair that culminates in a worthy, intense denouement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raincoast","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":59592341651742,"sku":"9781639738564","price":35.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/3584\/9246\/files\/9781639738564.jpg?v=1783695338","url":"https:\/\/www.cedarcanoebooks.com\/products\/agnes-lives","provider":"Cedar Canoe Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
