A Talented Mr Ripley for contemporary Berlin: a twisting, sensual, heady and razor-sharp exploration of creativity, fame, desire and the divided self
‘The book that’s been missing from my reading habits: classically glamourous, timelessly seductive’ Torrey Peters
‘An erotic spectacular of self-creation and spiralling disintegration’ Olivia Laing
____________________________________________________
Charli has finished art school and now has no idea what to do with her life. She’s broke, disillusioned and her flatmates hate her. One night at a bar in Soho, however, everything changes when she first encounters the charismatic musician Alexander Geist. Androgynous, glamorously handsome, mysterious and just a little sinister, he feels something like a soul mate; and so when he heads off to Berlin, Charli follows.
There, at the centre of the city’s febrile party scene, Charli and Alexander embark on their great project: to make Alexander into the biggest star since David Bowie. But Alexander is elusive, mercurial; and Charli is in over her head before she realises just how self-destructive her life has become under his spell.
A story of obsession and excess, doppelgängers and disassociation, fame and the terrible things we do to feel loved, Lean Cat, Savage Cat is an unforgettable novel from one of the most exciting writers at work today.©2026 Lauren J. Joseph (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Reseñas de la crítica
Lean Cat, Savage Cat is the book that’s been missing from my reading habits: classically glamourous, timelessly seductive, and painfully aware of the pitfalls of styling a life that cuts against the norm. Lauren J. Joseph is a wit and an assassin from one sentence to the next (TORREY PETERS, author of Detransition, Baby)
A riotous and raunchy novel … asalaciousrompof breathtakingself-invention andspectacular self-destruction.It’s a story of obsession and excess, doppelgängers and disassociation, fame and fandom, and the terrible things we do to feel loved
A razor-sharp rip through modern-day Berlin and the dark underbelly of fame … Lean Cat, Savage Cat is a stylish novel that blends humour, chaos, and emotional depth. It’s also highly filmic ... The next Saltburn
A dense, humid dance floor of a book. I plunged feet-first into its hot, dark rooms, overspilling with scandal and sensuality. The language is lush and relentless - I inhaled every line (JODIE HARSH)
Even though I know better, Lauren J. Joseph's dangerously stylish and relentlessly sexy novel made me long for wild nights among Berlin’s demi-mondaines: the glittering chaos, the glamour of bad decisions, the drugs and clubs and would-be Bowies with their would-be Romy Haags. I was completely delighted and impressed by the level of filth! (ANDREA LAWLOR, author of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl)
A complex, compelling and wildly entertaining novel … a wonderfully amorphous read – just when you think it’s one thing it becomes another
For a wild and witty ride of sex, parties and transvestism in Berlin, go for Lean Cat, Savage Cat by Lauren J. Joseph
An erotic spectacular of self-creation and spiralling disintegration: a wunderkammer of spoiling promise that combines the mounting tension of The Talented Mr Ripley with the bleak, exquisite social comedy of Isherwood and Waugh, confirming the gimlet-eyed brilliance of Lauren J. Joseph (OLIVIA LAING)
Joseph’s prose is as sharp as her imagination, as swishy as a pussy-bow and ( when need be) as blunt as a thrown hammer. Her storyline goes for Goth-romance broke, reimagining and role-reversing the classic pairing of Trilby and Svengali amidst the after-dark club-culture of a Bowie-haunted, stimulant-addled Berlin. Erotic obsession, bad drugs , worse decisions - and enough eye-rollingly explicit and gender-fucked backroom action to get anybody’s license revoked. What could possibly go wrong? (NEIL BARTLETT)
