Toby Litt

Victoria About, a chick-lit writer, invites eleven friends to spend a month for free in a rented country house in order to write a reality book about their adventures.

In order to use hidden cameras to control every step of the housemates, assigning them roles in a "play" that she directed without their knowledge, Victoria becomes a victim of their intriguing sabotage, but also of her own manipulation. Toby Litt writes a painfully witty pastiche of the chick-lit genre in a novel with the ironic title of Finding Myself, combined with a satire of the Big Brother phenomenon and a carefree homage to Virginia Woolf's novel To the Lighthouse. However hopeless Victoria's literary pretensions may be, he devises a devastatingly accurate imitation of her style. jokingly using modernist motifs and structures, without mixing the terms "serious" and "difficult", flirting with the intellectual beacon of such powerful radiation as that of Virginia Woolf and the multi-layered procedures, in this novel Litt collects thoughts on the contemporary crisis of privacy and offers us a rare a fun and precise sketch for the phenomenology of boredom.
