Cult Classic is a unique work of fiction, a brilliantly created story of love, memory, morality, and mind control, as well as a new exploration of the philosophy of romance. It is hilariously perceptive and pleasantly thrilling.
A lady leaves herself from a business reunion meal with old coworkers one evening in Chinatown, New York City, to go purchase a pack of smokes. She meets up with a previous boyfriend on her way back. Next up, another. And another one. As ghosts of previous heartbreaks haunt the city, nothing is entirely as it appears.
What would typically be taken for coincidence turns into something much stranger when newly engaged Lola has to deal not only with the sustainability of her current relationship but also the possibility that her best friend and her former boss—a mystical guru who used to edit magazines—may have a conflicting interest in the outcome. Lola is forced to choose whether to give in to the plotting of a very modern cult as memories of the past whirl and collide in hilarious and unsettling ways.
In a day where the past is always at your fingertips and sanity can be purchased, is it still possible to have a happy ending? Sloane Crosley crafts a sardonic literary fantasy with her gimlet eye that is both a page-turner and a moving portrait of loneliness.
