It's that sharp, that wicked, that laceratingly true -- Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize?winning author of The Hours Jessie Gaynor's wildly funny, laser-eyed novel is Jane Austen on steroids. It's that sharp, that wicked, that laceratingly true -- Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize?winning author of The Hours The Glow is the first truly dead-on satire of wellness culture, understanding it as not just a consumer trend, but a way of thinking and speaking. With terrifying wit, Jessie Gaynor shreds the overrated virtues of prosperity and healthy moisture barriers, and extols the underrated virtues of irony and sanity -- Tony Tulathimutte, author of Private Citizens Deliciously tart, fizzy, and absolutely intoxicating, The Glow is like a slim can of hard kombucha: a wellness tonic for people who like to make fun of the wellness industry -- Leigh Stein, author of Self Care Gaynor's sharpened blades are out for the wellness industry and its cult-like devotion to personal brands, but The Glow is more than just incisive observation and pitch-perfect satire. There's a deep well of human ambition and desire at the root of this story, not to mention a sharp plot that bounds ahead with the assurance of the best thrillers. Gaynor builds layer on layer of mystery out of everyday human yearning, creating a whole that's deeply satisfying and always surprising * CrimeReads * Author InformationJessie Gaynor's work has appeared in McSweeney's Internet Tendency, The New Yorker, WSJ.
