Beschreibung

"A gut-churning, heart-wrenching, blockbuster of a first novel . . . Parks-Ramage is an extraordinary new talent and <em>Yes, Daddy</em> is truly something special." -Kristen Arnett, author of <em>Mostly Dead Things</em> A propulsive, scorching modern gothic, <em>Yes, Daddy</em> follows an ambitious young man who is lured by an older, successful playwright into a dizzying world of wealth and an idyllic Hamptons home where things take a nightmarish turn. Jonah Keller moved to New York City with dreams of becoming a successful playwright, but, for the time being, lives in a rundown sublet in Bushwick, working extra hours at a restaurant only to barely make rent. When he stumbles upon a photo of Richard Shriver-the glamorous Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and quite possibly the stepping stone to the fame he craves-Jonah orchestrates their meeting. The two begin a hungry, passionate affair. When summer arrives, Richard invites his young lover for a spell at his sprawling estate in the Hamptons. A tall iron fence surrounds the idyllic compound where Richard and a few of his close artist friends entertain, have lavish dinners, and-Jonah can't help but notice-employ a waitstaff of young, attractive gay men, many of whom sport ugly bruises. Soon, Jonah is cast out of Richard's good graces and a sinister underlay begins to emerge. As a series of transgressions lead inexorably to a violent climax, Jonah hurtles toward a decisive revenge that will shape the rest of his life. Riveting, unpredictable, and compulsively readable, <em>Yes, Daddy</em> is an exploration of class, power dynamics, and the nuances of victimhood and complicity. It burns with weight and clarity-and offers hope that stories may hold the key to our healing.
