Made for Love

Exudes valiant charm * New Yorker *Smart, riveting … Made for Love crackles and satisfies by all its own weird rules, subversively inventing delight where none should exist. So bright… so dark * New York Times Book review *Easily one of the funniest books about sex and modern technology you’ll read this year * VICE *There is no one who negotiates the absurd as vigorously yet poignantly as Alissa Nutting… Brilliant, dense, hilarious writing that hurtles toward an ending that is both satisfying and unexpected – Roxane GayBlisteringly smart and feverishly inventive…This is a novel as frightening as it is hilarious, melding pathos, comedy, and delight as only great satire can – Garth GreenwellBizarre and vivid and unexpected and wickedly funny. I promise you will enjoy the ride – Jami AttenbergNutting deserves credit for envisioning the dangers of our surveillance-state tech economy, and milking them for all their ridiculousness … The novel is a wild ride, with Nutting’s foot firmly on the pedal the whole way. * Guardian *Nutting is a deft guide through absurdity. As she further pushes the bounds, continuously testing the reader’s trust in where they’re being led, she melds a complete command on prose with increasingly unbelievable and wild situations. Made for Love, beneath the sex-doll-dolphin-fantasy face, inexplicably ends up a tale of loneliness, freedom, intimacy and reality. * The Skinny *
