Discontent is a novel about Marisa, a 32-year old mid-level ad agency creative absolutely drowning by the mediocrity of corporate and her own life. This book promises a dark comedy, sharp wit, and pointed observation about the absurdity of corporate and the existential weight of a life shaped by it (and aware of it).

The beautiful prose in the book contrasts with the brutal reality it describes. This book will leave you unsettled but is the kind of fiction that tells the truth.

Long after I read the last word, I still think about this story. Even with the setting and characters taking place so far from our known reality in both time and place, even when the main characters are by no means “human”, the story and connection unfolds into something truly intimate and profound.
