'Incandescent, astonishing, a miracle' R. O. KWON
'With The Fetishist, Min has left the world something original and highly potent' INDEPENDENT
'Savage, horrible and very funny' i-D MAGAZINE
On a cold, gloomy night, twenty-three-year-old Kyoko stands in the rain with a knife in her hoodie's pocket. Her target is Daniel, who seduced Kyoko's mother then callously dropped her, leading to her death. But tonight, there will be repercussions. Following the unsuspecting Daniel home, Kyoko manages to get a rash kidnapping plot off the ground. . . and then nothing goes as planned.
The Fetishist is the story of three people - Kyoko, a Japanese American punk-rock singer full of rage and grief; Daniel, a philandering violinist forced to confront the wreckage of his past; and Alma, the love of Daniel's life, a Korean American cello prodigy long adored for her beauty, passion and talent, but who spends her final days examining if she was ever truly loved.
An exuberant, provocative story that confronts race, complicity, visibility, and ideals of femininity, The Fetishist was written before the celebrated author's untimely death in 2019. Startlingly present, as wise and powerful as it is utterly delightful, this novel cements Katherine Min's legacy as a writer with a singular voice for our times.
'Katherine Min is a singular, wildly talented voice and this is a trailblazing novel' SHARLENE TEO
'The Fetishist is a wild, darkly funny ride' THE I
'Fiercely intelligent, perfectly crafted, and brimming with wit' LISA KO
