Publisher's Synopsis
- In Socialist Realism, Low effortlessly encompasses both the "heady" (Hannah Arendt, Diane Arbus, radical politics, and architecture-as-ideology) and pop culture (Jurassic Park, Kristen Stewart, Beyoncé). This immense range of reference gives readers multiple entry points into Low's more conceptual explorations of the head and heart.
- For Low, the political is personal rather than the other way around, and the way she highlights how the structures of capitalism, cis-hetero-patriarchy, and cultural ideologies disrupt personal identity will resonate with fans of both personal memoir and cultural criticism.
- Booksellers and readers have responded with great enthusiasm to our Emily Books imprint, and Low's work has all the hallmarks of a beloved Emily Books title: dark humor, a strong voice, and an unapologetically transgressive feminist stance.
- Trisha works at SPD as a publicist and is very familiar with the publishing world. She's also very active on social media and will be a great advocate for her book.
