![]() He idolizes his friend for his magnetic confidence. ![]() Paul sees the wealthy, effortlessly charming Julian as his sole intellectual equal-an ally against the conventional world he finds so suffocating. A talented artist, Paul is sensitive and agonizingly insecure, incomprehensible to his working-class family, and desolate with grief over his father’s recent death. When Paul and Julian meet as university freshmen in early 1970s Pittsburgh, they are immediately drawn to one another. The Secret History meets Call Me by Your Name in Micah Nemerever’s compulsively readable debut novel-a feverishly taut Hitchcockian story about two college students, each with his own troubled past, whose escalating obsession with one another leads to an act of unspeakable violence. THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS – Micah Nemerever (Releasing September 15th, 2020) Thanks to Harper Books for the free copy in exchange for my honest review Book mail is here and my nails match it perfectly! And the newest book sleeve from Sew Happy Stitch Happy arrived. ![]()
