The Fetishist

'With The Fetishist, Min has left the world something original and highly potent' INDEPENDENT 'Savage, horrible and very funny' i-D MAGAZINE 'Katherine Min is a singular, wildly talented voice and this is a trailblazing novel' Sharlene Teo **'**The Fetishist is a wild, darkly funny ride' THE i *'*Fiercely intelligent, perfectly crafted, and brimming with wit' Lisa Ko On a cold, gloomy night, twenty-three-year-old Kyoko stands in the rain with a knife in her hoodie's pocket. Her target is Daniel, who seduced Kyoko's mother then callously dropped her, leading to her suicide. Tonight, there will be repercussions. Following the unsuspecting Daniel home, Kyoko manages to get a reckless kidnapping plot off the ground. . . and then nothing goes as planned. This is the story of three people - Kyoko, a Japanese American punk-rock singer full of rage and grief; Daniel, a philandering violinist forced to confront the wreckage of his past; and Alma, the love of Daniel's life, a Korean American cello prodigy long adored for her beauty and talent, but who spends her final days asking if she was ever truly loved. Provocative and hilariously savage, The Fetishist confronts race, complicity, visibility and ideals of femininity, cementing the late Katherine Min's legacy as a writer with a singular voice for our times.
