The answer, her debut novel Exquisite Mariposa, follows a cast of housemates as they navigate questions of art making and economies, breakups and breakdowns, and the internet and its many obsessions.Given the initials F.A.D. at birth, Fiona Alison Duncan has always had an eye for observing the trends around her. But after years of looking for answers in books and astrological charts and working as a celebrity journalist to make rent, Fiona discovers another way of existing: in the Real, a phenomenological state few humans live in.Fiona’s journey to the Real takes her to Koreatown, Los Angeles, where she sublets a room in La Mariposa. There, in the aftermath of a reality TV deal gone wrong, Fiona asks the question, Can you rewrite your life? The answer, her debut novel, Exquisite Mariposa, follows a cast of friends and lovers as they navigate questions of art making and economies, breakups and breakdowns, and the Internet and its many obsessions.
The term ‘millennial’ is constantly thrown around with arms raised in the air, as if out stretched towards God, pleading, why? One used to be afraid of such an exclamation, since it would make you instantly sound old. Well, Fiona Duncan’s new novel proves that this sentiment is old, cranky, crotchety and lacking in imagination. She shows us the raw cravings of a generation born on the boundary of bastard boomer billionaires and the repeated failure of the sexual revolution. What is real? What is community? What is love? What can be hoped for?I love this book. It makes me wish I was young again which is a feat in a contemporary landscape like ours.
