Meredyth Cole
A devoted lover and wannabe screenwriter, January is unable to love or write after finding out her (now ex) girlfriend has cheated. Restless and questioning it all, January and her stoic bestie, Laura, travel to a menacing California in search of recreation and inspiration—anything to alleviate the grief.
There, January submerges herself into a life of indulgence—until she makes eye contact, poolside, with a telepathic bunny. Inhabited by the spirit of Caroline Lamb, the eclipsed muse of Lord Byron and a self-described footnote in the history of English literature, this magical, peevish rabbit coaches January through the messy past and the increasingly sinister present. And she may not be the only lost soul hell-bent on capturing January's attention.
A Faustian bargain for modern times, Heatstroke is a rippling tale of heartbreak, obsession and creativity. With it, Meredyth Cole signals her prodigious talent and offers us a spicy, boundless realm where "going insane is low-key sexy."

Recensioni della critica
"Heatstroke evokes the work of Ottessa Moshfegh in its mastery of the off-kilter and disturbing and of Mona Awad with its sharp literary references. . . . For all its absurdity, the book successfully captures two states of being nearly everyone is familiar with: being young and being heartbroken." —The Walrus
"Cole is particularly good [at] the tedious persistence of oneself. I found it invigorating. . . . Heatstroke is funniest when January is explaining herself and most frightening when the explanation almost works. Cole does not ask us to approve of her. She gives us the less comfortable job of understanding why she keeps saying yes." —Aliona Ciumac, The Fifth Corner
"Maniacally entertaining and darkly absurd, Meredyth Cole's debut is a wicked spiral into psychic pain, surreal coming-of-age and the decadent madness of female artistic genius. Heatstroke serves as both a horror comedy of a bad break-up and a sharp-eyed satire of the zillennial condition with its surprisingly tender moments of vulnerability juxtaposed with acerbic one-liners. Compulsively readable and unexpected, this novel will delight and provoke. Prepare to cackle loudly and worry for the young narrator. Cole is a thrilling writer to watch." —Lindsay Wong, author of Villain Hitting for Vicious Little Nobodies
"I adored this book. Surreal, addictive and hot—magic passes through these pages with the ease of a desert breeze. My time reading Heatstroke felt indulgent, imbuing me with the brilliant, unbothered viciousness of its characters. Deeply relatable for the heartbroken and insatiable." —Aurora Stewart de Peña, author of Julius Julius
"A rollicking, hilarious road trip. . . . For fans of Mona Awad, this is a sensual, absurd, laugh-out-loud tale of the lasting horror of romantic obsession. It asks the most terrifying existential question of all: How does a woman get over anyone?" —Arizona O’Neill, author of Opioids and Organs
"A compelling novel residing within the intersectional space—much larger than we may always wish to admit—between heartbreak and literary creation. Heatstroke’s Faustian bargain appears to make a deal with metaphor itself, and its irresistible prose moves us effortlessly between genres and consciousnesses." —Madhur Anand, author of To Place a Rabbit
