Candice Wuehle will read from her new novel, Ultranatural. The University of Iowa Press describes it as: “Part pop elegy, part horror story, part radical reimagining of female celebrity…Ultranatural autotunes the static of fame until it sounds like prophecy.” Anna Dorn, author of Perfume and Pain, praises Ultranatural as “Candice Wuehle’s sharp, surreal telling of a body turned brand, and the girl trapped beneath it,” while E. K. Sathue, author of Youthjuice, says: “Ultranatural skewers fame, girlhood, and celebrity culture with a deft hand, seamlessly blending philosophy, satire, and musings on the metaphysical while chronicling the rise and fall of a pop icon. Lacey Dove Bart is at once a recognizable cultural figure and a wholly original character whom you won’t soon forget.” Candice Wuehle is author of Monarch, Fidelitoria: Fixed or Fluxed, Death Industrial Complex, and BOUND. She lives in Iowa City, Iowa.
