| Summary: | In 1974 San Francisco, nineteen-year-old Celia Dent lives a quiet life working at the phone company and trying to be a good wife to her controlling husband. But when a coworker is murdered during a secret affair, Celia becomes obsessed with thoughts of passion, danger, and what it might mean to live--and die--for love. As her fantasies begin to blur with reality, Celia starts skipping work, visiting a gun range, and imagining a life free from her husband's control--until one night, her dangerous thoughts push her toward a deadly confrontation. Exhilarating, surreal, and bitingly clever, Evil Genius is a comic noir exploring obsession and desire--and what happens when a sweetly seditious young woman dares to imagine a better life. |
