'A writer to keep a close eye on' The New York Times

'Quiet and beautifully written, Discipline plays masterfully' Buzz Magazine

When two people fall apart, who gets to tell their story?

Christine is a young writer touring her debut novel - a thinly disguised tale of the affair she had with her professor ten years earlier. He was magnetic, domineering, both the sponsor of her early promise and its destroyer. But he surely forgot her long ago, and the temptation to exorcise her past was overwhelming.

Then, between hotel rooms and bookstores, formal dinners and road-trip hook-ups, she receives a series of sly, unsettling emails and finally an invitation to visit the professor's isolated house on an island off the coast of Maine. Against her better judgement, Christine is drawn back into his orbit, risking forever losing control of the narrative she's worked so hard to create.

Taut and provocative, Discipline walks the lines between creativity and control, truth and memory, coercion and desire.

READER REVIEWS:

'If you enjoyed Outline by Rachel Cusk or Mona by Pola Oloixarac, I think you will really like Discipline'

'The best book I read in 2025'

'Pham's writing completely held me. Each page left me wanting more'

'A provocative and intriguing debut, masterfully executed'

'Discipline is a storm on the horizon, a prismatic and haunting story'
