Présentation
Sadie Smith is a sharp, amoral American operative for hire, sent to infiltrate a collective of eco-activists in a remote corner of southwest France. As she manipulates her targets, she becomes fascinated by their guru's emails about Neanderthals and deep human history — and her own certainties begin to wobble. Shortlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize, Rachel Kushner's Creation Lake is a coolly brilliant spy novel that doubles as a meditation on civilization, ecology and human nature. Wry, intelligent and slyly philosophical, it pairs the pleasures of espionage with big ideas. A literary thriller for readers who like their suspense laced with provocation.
