Discipline

Omtale

Christine is a writer on tour for her novel, a revenge fantasy based on a real-life relationship gone bad with an older professor ten years prior. Through intimate conversations with strangers, past lovers and friends while on the road, Christine discovers new ways of living a good life and creating art. But when the antagonist of her novel - her old painting professor - reaches out in a series of sly communiques after years of silence to tell her he's read her book, Christine must reckon with what it means to lose the reins of a narrative she wrote precisely to maintain control. What she discovers is both terrifying, and beautiful. With a fierce aesthetic eye and elegant, charged prose, Discipline is a taut triumph about art-making and rigor, intimacy and attention, punishment and release.
