Laura Warholic; Or, The Sexual Intellectual by Alexander Theroux
The Sexual Intellectual
A cantankerous, erudite narrator becomes obsessed with a charismatic, enigmatic young woman whose life — from casual work to indulgence and decline — becomes the pretext for a sprawling, baroque meditation on desire, art, fame, addiction, and literary culture; the novel mixes satiric rant, sentimental elegy, encyclopedic digression, and mordant social criticism as the narrator alternately idolizes, protects, and castigates the woman while exposing his own contradictions and obsessive intellect.
