Specifically, that of one Mercy McCabe, a stunning SoHo art dealer who was once our Latina narrator's rival for the scrumptious Bebe. When she discovers that McCabe has squandered Bebe's affections after stealing her away, revenge is not enough: McCabe must confess her guilt, sentence herself, and beg for her own execution, Soviet-style. In the all-too-terrifyingly-familiar America of Heartland, the inconceivable has become ordinary: corruption and greed at the top have led to mass starvation in the heartland; hordes of refugees have escaped resettlement camps and attack the cities; a puritanical Caliphate has toppled Constantinople, with America in its sights. Meanwhile, escaping her New York life in disguise, our heroine lures McCabe to her home turf: a hilltop house in the Great Plains where her parents worked as domestic servants. Her nemesis, though, is slippery, and McCabe disappears, threatening to ruin a homicidal masterplan so detailed as to be akin to love. Heartland is a hilarious, genre-defying debut that confronts taboos of race, assimilation, and sex through a high-voltage tale of love, language, and revenge." -- Publisher's description 650 0 $a American fiction $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Lesbians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hispanic American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Writer's block $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women art dealers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Revenge $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Dystopian fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Noir fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240202022014.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006114430.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180207010246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E692B720BD411E8B276BF0197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
