- Summary:
- "A bestselling and award-winning satire of contemporary media-saturated consumer culture, Honey, I Killed the Cats introduces us to two independent young women in a bizarro, all-too-real imaginarium of American pop culture. In this warped world saturated by advertising and materialism, where everything can be bought, from personality and physical traits to religion and self-fulfillment, Joanne and Farah, two very different women form a friendship both bonded in and ultimately destroyed by the manipulations of consumer culture. Joanne has everything the commercials say you should want--perfect body and perfect confidence, carefree, happy to excess. Farah occupies an opposite world, one driven by fear--self-loathing and jealous, germophobic, unhappy and malcontented. Through a shared metaphysical dream experience that spills over into their increasingly troubled day-to-day lives, the two women find themselves in a destructive cycle, consumed by their obsessions."--Provided by publisher.
