- Book Synopsis
- Widowhood and weirdos, online and off, NORMA is so dark it smarts.It's a terrible freedom to linger unaccounted for.Norma is waking up and cracking up. Decades of marriage, housekeeping, and family responsibility: buried with her husband Hank. Now, she's free, gorging on an online riot of canceled soap operas, message boards, and grocery store focus groups. Transcribing chatter for fifty cents a minute. It's all of humanity-grim, funny, and desperate-wafting into her world, a world reeking with the funk of old fast food wrappers, cold stale recycled air, and desiccated car upholstery. And one where appropriate boundaries are suddenly slipping too, when a voice from one of her transcripts goes from virtual to IRL and just down the block.NORMA is a tart, unhinged flail into widowhood, the parasocial, and some of the more careworn corners of the internet.
