About this product
Product Information
"Locascio's story of a young American abroad is unflinching in its portrayal of sex, desire, racism, and the excitement and confusion of youth. Infused with erotics and politics, this is a novel that will haunt you."--Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer Roxana Olsen has always dreamed of going to Paris, and after high school graduation finally plans to travel there on a study abroad program--a welcome reprieve from the bruising fallout of her parents' divorce. But a logistical mix-up brings Roxana to Copenhagen instead, where she's picked up at the airport by S ren, a twenty-eight year old guide who is meant to be her steward. Instantly drawn to one another, Roxana and S ren's relationship turns romantic, and when he asks Roxana to accompany him to a small coastal town for the rest of the summer, she doesn't hesitate to accept. There, Roxana's world narrows and expands as she experiences fantasy, ritual, and the pleasures of her body, a thrilling realm of erotic and domestic bliss. Seduced by this newfound connection, Roxana doesn't object when S ren requests that she spend her days alone in the apartment while he goes to the library to work. As their relationship deepens, S ren's temperament darkens, and Roxana finds herself increasingly drawn to a local outsider, Zlatan, whom she learns is a Muslim refugee from the Bosnian War. The cycle of awakenings sparked by these two relationships challenge and open Roxana in ways she never imagined. A coming-of-age like no other, from a magnetic new voice in fiction, Open Me is a daringly original and darkly compelling portrait of a young woman discovering her power, her sex, and her voice; and a propulsive exploration of estrangement and what it means to belong.

Praise for Open Me An Elle.com Best Book to Read This Summer A Library Journal "Power Debut Novel" (August Fiction Preview) A Paperback Paris Best New Books of Summer "Imbued with sex and politics, Locascio's debut novel casts the traditional bildungsroman into a darker, more feminine light... Locascio centers the female body exquisitely. A debut exploring how we open up to others--and, more importantly, ourselves."--Kirkus Reviews "Summer is for sexiness, so yield to this coming-of-age novel about a teen whose erotic awakening in Copenhagen circles around two men: an older local and a refugee from the Balkan War."--Elle.com, "The 30 Best Books to Read This Summer" "A surprising, bodily coming-of-age story at the intersection of one young American woman's sexual awakening and the tense political environment in which she finds herself."--Literary Hub"Locascio's story of a young American abroad is unflinching in its portrayal of sex, desire, racism, and the excitement and confusion of youth. Infused with erotics and politics, this is a novel that will haunt you."--Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer "Through the care of her tremendous observations and the beauty of her prose, Lisa Locascio writes a kind of love letter to the female body and all its power and visceral complexity. This is a story of many important layers, but one of the many reasons it remains distinct in my mind is because of its honesty about our complicated, yearning physical selves. A remarkable, fearless debut."--Aimee Bender, author of The Color Master "Captivating and darkly clever, Locasio's debut melds self-discovery and self-abnegation with raw, muscular grace. By turns beguiling, guileless, and penetratingly felt, this book seethes with eroticism, both physical and emotional--you won't dare to pry yourself away from it."--Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine "An evocative and compelling remapping of Bluebeard's Castle for our times. In Open Me , Locascio offers a daring, unapologetic, and vital exploration of female desire."--Emily Fridlund, author of History of Wolves "Not since Henry James' Daisy Miller have I been so beguiled by an American abroad. Lisa Locascio's Roxana Olsen may only be eighteen but she is already a desperate sexual adventurer. Part captivity narrative, part political awakening, Open Me will open you, reminding us that nothing really happens until it happens in the body."--Darcey Steinke, author of Suicide Blonde "A lush, evocative novel you won't be able to put down. Open Me is a masterful debut."--T.C.

Open Me is a masterful debut."--T.C. Boyle, author of The Harder They Come, Praise for Open Me An Elle.com Best Book to Read This Summer A Library Journal "Power Debut Novel" (August Fiction Preview) "Summer is for sexiness, so yield to this coming-of-age novel about a teen whose erotic awakening in Copenhagen circles around two men: an older local and a refugee from the Balkan War."--Elle.com, "The 30 Best Books to Read This Summer" "A surprising, bodily coming-of-age story at the intersection of one young American woman's sexual awakening and the tense political environment in which she finds herself."--Literary Hub"Locascio's story of a young American abroad is unflinching in its portrayal of sex, desire, racism, and the excitement and confusion of youth. Infused with erotics and politics, this is a novel that will haunt you."--Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer "Through the care of her tremendous observations and the beauty of her prose, Lisa Locascio writes a kind of love letter to the female body and all its power and visceral complexity. This is a story of many important layers, but one of the many reasons it remains distinct in my mind is because of its honesty about our complicated, yearning physical selves. A remarkable, fearless debut."--Aimee Bender, author of The Color Master "Captivating and darkly clever, Locasio's debut melds self-discovery and self-abnegation with raw, muscular grace. By turns beguiling, guileless, and penetratingly felt, this book seethes with eroticism, both physical and emotional--you won't dare to pry yourself away from it."--Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine "An evocative and compelling remapping of Bluebeard's Castle for our times. In Open Me , Locascio offers a daring, unapologetic, and vital exploration of female desire."--Emily Fridlund, author of History of Wolves "Not since Henry James' Daisy Miller have I been so beguiled by an American abroad. Lisa Locascio's Roxana Olsen may only be eighteen but she is already a desperate sexual adventurer. Part captivity narrative, part political awakening, Open Me will open you, reminding us that nothing really happens until it happens in the body."--Darcey Steinke, author of Suicide Blonde "A lush, evocative novel you won't be able to put down. Open Me is a masterful debut."--T.C. Boyle, author of The Harder They Come A Book Riot Favorite Floral Cover
