~ Standard Hardcover Oscar is a B-list novelist in his forties. He used to be an alcoholic and a cokehead, but now he keeps himself busy by ranting on social media. When Rebecca, a n actress whose looks he insulted, sends him an angry email, they strike up a combative correspondence, at the very moment that Oscar is accused of sexual harassment by his former publicist . . . A flame-throwing novel about a culture that makes men and women sick, and about how the search for feeling leaves us addicted to what makes us feel, Dear Dickhead is a provocative French novel full of emotional suspense about sex, feminism, and addiction. "Funny, raw, and compelling, Despentes' unsparing directness and fluid style are well served by Wynne's translation with nothing lost." -- Library Journal Show more
