’Funny, observant, self-destructive Maya has problems. A sweet, handsome, heavy-drinking husband she’s not sure she loves. Her detached, selfish lover. Her overdue thesis and dead-end job. Her dying mother. Herself, most of all, and her escalating drug habit. What’s left when those are peeled away? Balancing vivid intensity with numb disdain, Problems makes a story of addiction and redemption fresh, necessary and desperately funny. Explicit and raw, Problems is an astonishing debut novel.
Recensione:
The self-degrading, self-knowing narrator of Jade Sharma s Problems dares to recount her beyond messy life in clean, lucid and often funny prose. She d never be so glib as to call herself a survivor, but even at this dark novel s darkest moments her voice itself makes the case for her resilience and her humanity. David Gates --David Gates
Problems unnerves in its facility to careen between acidic humor and frank depictions of desperation, as well as in its refusal to disavow completely the allure of the high. Literary Hub --Literary Hub
