Beschreibung
Stay Safe is Michael Lacoy's best work yet, a scathing dark comedy about two very different Americas.
Cole Perrot -- a frustrated college administrator who spends most of his time on social media -- ferociously loathes his next-door neighbor, Tyce Creamer, an internet celebrity and the very embodiment of "toxic masculinity." Unfortunately for Cole, his wife Oona feels differently about Tyce, as do Cole's teenage son and young daughter. Sensing a threat to his progressive values, not to mention his hold over his family, Cole secretly declares war on his "redneck" neighbor. What follows is a series of events that are by turns shocking, hilarious, absurd, and perfectly of our present moment.
Set amid a global flu pandemic, the novel chronicles the unraveling of both a man and a country in a time of heightened fear and deep social division. Mixing comedy, tragedy, and blistering satire, Stay Safe amuses and terrifies in equal measure.
