Climate change has caused massive flooding and warming in the Balkans, where one programmer builds a time machine. And a devious reimagining of \u003ci\u003eThe Sorrows of Young Werther\u003c\/i\u003e refocuses to center a sexually adventurous Charlotte.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAsja Bakić deploys the speculative and weird to playfully interrogate conversations around artificial intelligence, gender fluidity, and environmental degradation. As she did in her acclaimed debut \u003ci\u003eMars\u003c\/i\u003e, Bakić once again upends her characters' convictions and identities--and infuses each disorienting universe with sly humor and off-kilter eroticism. Visceral and otherworldly, \u003ci\u003eSweetlust\u003c\/i\u003e takes apart human desire and fragility, repeatedly framing pleasure as both inviting and perilous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, Science Fiction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feminist Press at The City University of New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781952177729\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Feminist Press at The City University of New York","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £754.80","offer_id":47919264858289,"sku":"SB-1952177723-C4","price":754.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1952177723.jpg?v=1789303432","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/sweetlust-stories","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
