Description
From the bestselling author of The Incendiaries, a powerful, blazing-hot novel about a woman caught between her desires and her life.
Kwon is one of the finest stylists of her generation ... the savage beauty and intensity of the prose gets under your skin, lingering like the bruises Lidija leaves on Jin
In prose at once sharp and lush, Kwon crafts a gripping tale of a woman wrestling with the past, while boldly making her own future. A haunting and powerful exploration of art, racism, feminism, and desire, this novel will stay with me a long time
Exhibit is sensational - a novel that's both intimate and operatic, singular and world-encompassing. Kwon's prose is soulful and piercing, chronicling the many ways we lose and find ourselves, blending love and sex and fables between the infinite folds that encompass desire. Exhibit is entirely captivating, and Kwon is truly masterful; it's a book for the mind and the heart and the body, an actual tour de force
Exhibit is extraordinary: brisk, jolting, brilliant, beautiful, true. A ghost story, a tale of passion, a captivating portrait of how art is made, it turns myths upside down, assumptions inside out, all in the most exquisite prose in the bookstore. Kwon is one of the finest American writers, and her latest is a must for all readers
I tore through this. Exhibit explores how obliteration can be a kind of rebirth, how the nuances of that are complicated by the constraints of chosen and socially imposed identities. Kwon writes about art and ardor with urgency
A rare jewel of a book, at once forceful and unrepentant, delicate and shimmering. R. O. Kwon carves language into a wondrous, jagged thing, revealing facets of desire usually hidden. To read Exhibit is to feel time slow down
Reading Exhibit feels like watching ballet: a breathtaking performance of fluidity and flight that appears effortless, weightless, but takes huge power, talent, and skill. The result is kaleidoscopic prose, sizzling with tension and beauty. I adored it.
A contemporary tale of art and desire ... teeming with haunting prose
