Medium Rare

“Funny, propulsive, and more than a little ruthless, Medium Rare is a shrewd interrogation of the American political class, the attention economy, and the Millennial worldview's inherent contradictions. It’s also tremendous fun. A. Natasha Joukovsky’s prose moves along a high-speed rail of exquisite wit and incisive observation. I could not stop reading.” — Liv Stratman, author of Cheat Day “A modern comedy that unfolds in a culture of sports predictions, political gamesmanship, and Silicon Valley which still manages to say some serious and really smart things about the power of narratives, and where dumb luck can take you in a society of spectacle.” —Martin Riker, author of The Guest Lecture “A riveting, messy story about the perils of luck, the dangers of money, and delicacy of friendship written with merciless honesty. It is rare to read a novel that eviscerates the striving bleak cadre of lower-upper class professionals so thoroughly and enjoyably. I could not put this book down.” –Kelsey McKinney, New York Times bestselling author of You Didn't Hear This From Me “Joukovsky fillets the American dream with the razor-sharp knife it deserves. Medium Rare is a brilliant delight. I devoured it.” —Isabel Kaplan, author of NSFW ""Erudite and immensely fun, this is brimming with Joukovsky's signature wry observation and superb comedic timing. This novel also packs an emotional punch, holding a funhouse mirror to our current American psyche. A must read."" -- Julia Fine, author of The Upstairs House
