ANNA INCOGNITO
Laura Preble
Literary Fiction/Women's Fiction
Lots of narrative pull...wonderfully complicated. - Jincy Willett, author of The Writing Class, and anthologized by David Sedaris in Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules.
Anna Colin Beck knows all too well what can happen when things go wrong
really wrong. So, she's spent the last several years living an extremely
regimented life at home, doing everything she can to avoid subjecting
herself to the torments of a germ-infested world. Everything must be
just so, and when things don't go to plan, she punishes her own
body...and that still hasn't helped alleviate her pain.
After a chance meeting in a laundromat, she finds herself completely infatuated
with another person, something that hasn't happened to her in a long
time. Dr. Edward Denture is seemingly brilliant and magnetic...and in
the blink of an eye, she's attending intense somatic therapy sessions as
his newest client. The more he draws from her, the further their
relationship grows, until it's crossed countless lines and consumed Anna
with a fierce toxicity. And before she knows it, she finds herself
buckled into the driver's seat of a powder-blue El Dorado for a solo
cross-country road trip, determined to stop his wedding. It's a trip
that will test every limitation she's ever set for herself, and though
she's planned extensively for all contingencies, there are some twists
and turns you just can't prepare for.
With wry observations on the intersection of luck, fate, and life, Anna Incognito is a searing, darkly witty exploration of what it means to be alive.

fun romp through the American West." LINK HERE
