First U.S. edition, originally published in the U.K. by MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE, 2020. Under the neon sky of a sick city, which might be London, a nameless governess oscillates between lucidity and dissociation, solitude and communication, wage labor and escape attempts. A wild and unreliable narrator—ardent, delirious, complicit, vengeful, and paranoid—she embodies a perverse and chaotic resistance. An anti-Bildungsroman in the collapsing first person, Yes, I Am A Destroyer is an unbecoming record of memory and forgetting—a relentless undoing. (MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE)
