Kirkus Reviews, “Best Fiction of 2023”
An artist of color becomes obsessed with a white model in a novel with the glamor of Clarice Lispector and the viscerality of Han Kang.
Atan otherwise forgettable party in Los Angeles, a queer Korean American painter
spots a woman who instantly controls the room: gorgeous and distant and utterly
white, the center of everyone’s attention. Haunted into adulthood by her Korean
father’s abandonment of his family, as well as the specter of her beguiling,
abusive white mother, the painter finds herself caught in a perfect trap. She wants
Hanne, or wants to be her, or to sully her, or destroy her, or consume her, or
some confusion of all the above. Since she’s an artist, she will use art to get
closer to Hanne, beginning a series of paintings with her new muse as model. As
for Hanne, what does she want? Her whiteness seems sometimes as cruel as a new
sheet of paper.
Whenthe paintings of Hanne become a hit, resulting in the artist’s first sold-out
show, she resolves to bring her new muse with her to Berlin, to continue their
work, and her seduction. But, just when the painter is on the verge of her long
sought-after breakthrough,a petition started by a Black performance artist begins making the rounds in theart community, calling for the boycott of major museums and art galleries for theirimperialist and racist practices.
Tornbetween her desire to support the petition, to be a success, and to possessHanne, the painter and her reality become more unstable anddisorienting, unwilling to cut loose
any one of her warring ambitions, yet unable to accommodate them all. Is it anywonder so many artists self-destruct so spectacularly? Is it perhaps just a bitexciting to think she could too?
YourLove Is Not Good stuffs queer explosive into the cracks between identity and aspiration, betweendesire and art, and revels in the raining debris.
