It is a choral performance that tumbles its readers into the heart of violent spectacle, with all its attendant grief, unease, and unclarity.\"—Maggie Nelson, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Argonauts\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eApocalypse Baby\u003c\/i\u003e is a smart, fast-paced mystery about a missing adolescent girl traveling through Paris and Barcelona. She is tailed by two mismatched private investigators: the Hyena, part ruthless interrogator, part oversexed rock star, and Lucie, her plain and passive—almost to the point of invisible—sidekick. As their desperate search unfolds, they interrogate a suspicious cast of characters, and the dark heart of contemporary youth culture is exposed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Feminist Press at CUNY, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054676361456,"sku":"9781558618916","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781558618916_p0.jpg?v=1763756208","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781558618916","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
