The 2nd book in After8’s “Scanners” collection is Claire Star Finch’s much expected English debut. Judith, an academic celebrity, and Wendy, a slightly less famous academic celebrity, fall in love. They break up. In her ensuing grief, Wendy finds herself in a pornographic, epistolary haze that slumps toward the narrative. Fueled by the only things that cut through the pain—sex and democratic theory—Wendy takes us along on her wild ride toward self-actualization. In Claire Star Finch’s first novel, love and the void question each other in action.
