New York Indie Publishers Debut Novel Take View At Society

Debut novel of Gina Yates, daughter of renowned literary giant Richard Yates (Revolutionary Road) and in Narcissus Nobody is wayward of young adulthood as to the other coming-of-age novels publish in years before.

The novel set a disgraced love guru Brooks Nixon haunted Hope Townsend, show up at inopportune moments to unwelcome commentary. "The book takes a satirical look at intimacy and society's expectations around it," Gina put out. "Readers who already tend to question/reject such expectations might feel validated when they read it, and others might start question societal norms a bit more."

Here is a summary of Narcissus Nobody: Brooks, who once doled out cliched dating advice, millions fell out of favor with his fanbase when a life-altering experience shifted his counsel to a free-wheeling and anti-monogamy platform. The about-face earned him the moniker “Narcissus Nixon” and made him slightly less annoying to Hope, a goth music devotee who prefers animals over people. Hope’s dueling traits of misanthropy and compassion often hinder her progress in relationships as well as jobs, as she provides home care to the elderly, listening to stories while wading through her own, and directing work at a shady psychic hotline. Little by little, she finds herself more influenced by the new Nixon than she’d care to admit. To shake off his hold on her thoughts and come to terms with her own destiny, she must uncover the truth behind Nixon’s transformation and draw the line between his recommendations and her authentic desires.
