.AlexKleeman's neo-noir novel 'Something New Under The Sun' is out now with HogarthBooks.
Alexandra Kleeman isn’t afraid to lean into what is unsettled. Her 2015 darkly funny, devastating, and uncomfortable dystopian debut noveltackled obsessions with bodies, and captured the loss of grip of self and reality we experience through technology, told through the story of a narrator named A, her roommate B, and her roommate’s boyfriend C., out Aug.
Because I’m a person who lives in my body for better or for worse, and I’m from the West, I’m from Colorado where we have some of the same issues with water shortage and droughts as California, I wanted to invent a substance, this fake water that would enter the body and make the wrongness of itself feel palpable in this way.
“Part of what I’m interested in doing is beginning the book with this feeling of normalcy and sort of chipping away at it and showing the parts of this environment that we don’t see or have ignored because of habituation and because we’ve transformed it so radically to our specifications.” The project in both books is sort of similar. It’s like, how can we find a way to critique these deep-seated desires and preferences and habituations that are actually so unnatural and so very much introduced to us by such an early age that we can’t know where we begin and where they end? I always find other genres to be a really useful way of unsettling what’s normal.
