Lapvona

Ottessa Moshfegh
Hari KunzruHari Kunzru

“Lapvona” has the odd affect and episodic quality of ’80s-era VHS slasher movies, made for an audience that wanted an endorphin rush of terror coated in knowing genre tropes and gory slapstick.

Counterweight

Djuna
Hari KunzruHari Kunzru

The novel’s speculations about human agency resonate in the current moment, when American tech C.E.O.s oscillate between issuing sonorous warnings about the existential risks of the A.I. systems they’re developing and breathless hype about brain-computer interfaces.
