Language is alive here and Moschovakis plays with its possibilities and pokes at its limitations. “ Participation is thoughtful, intelligent, funny, and the most radically inventive novel I’ve read in a long time. With incisive prose and surprising structural shifts, Participation forms an alluring vision of community, and a love story like no other. As the groups consider-or neglect-the syllabi, and connections between members deepen, a mentor in mediation disappears, a colleague known as “the capitalist” becomes a point of fixation, and “The News Reports” filter through in fragments. Participation offers a prescient look at remote communication in a time of rupture: anonymous participants exchange fantasies and ruminations, and relationships develop and unravel. In the latest novel from Anna Moschovakis, two reading groups, Love and Anti-Love, convene digitally amidst political upheaval and undefined environmental catastrophe. When environmental disaster strikes, binaries and certainties dissolve as members of two virtual reading groups reshape their lives, romances, and reality itself.
