His threats become more and more sinister, and Hazel is forced to take drastic measures in order to find a home of her own and free herself from Byron's virtual clutches once and for all. As Hazel tries to carve out a new life for herself in this uncharted territory, Byron is using the most sophisticated tools at his disposal to find her and bring her home. The world she escapes into is a far cry from the dry and clinical bubble she's been living in, a world populated with a whole host of deviant oddballs. But when he demands to wirelessly connect the two of them via brain chips in a first-ever human 'mind-meld,' Hazel decides what was once merely irritating has become unbearable.

For over a decade, Hazel put up with being veritably quarantined by Byron in the family compound, her every movement and vital sign tracked. She's just run out on her marriage to Byron Gogol, CEO and founder of Gogol Industries, a monolithic corporation hell-bent on making its products and technologies indispensable in daily life. Jami Attenberg, author of The Middlesteins There is no one who negotiates the absurd as vigorously yet poignantly as Nutting.

Life with Hazel's father is strained at best, but her only alternative seems even bleaker. Alissa Nutting’s Made for Love is bizarre and vivid and unexpected and wickedly funny. Hazel has just moved into a trailer park of senior citizens, with her father and Diane-his extremely lifelike sex doll-as her roommates. From one of our most exciting and provocative young writers, a poignant, riotously funny story of how far some will go for love-and how far some will go to escape it.
