Original Face

Twenty-nine-year-old Daniel is an under-employed internet artist who's struggling as much with money and inspiration as he is in his relationship with Grace. Against a backdrop of a digital economy that rewards online platforms instead of content creators, with climate-change anxiety hanging palpably in the air, the resolutely contemporary Morissette immerses readers into a vagabond year of modern love, as Daniel and Grace navigate their aspirations, insecurities and ambitions amidst a culture obsessed with the instantaneous satisfaction of selfies and self-identity.

The Original Face is a fresh and imaginative critical examination of work and life in the 21st century by the author of the cultishly popular New Tab, a finalist for the 2015 Amazon.ca First Novel Award, and the 2014 Hugh MacLennan Prize for Fiction.

Daniel, in varsta de douazeci si noua de ani, este un artist de internet sub angajati, care se lupta la fel de mult cu banii si inspiratia ca si in relatia sa cu Grace. Pe fundalul unei economii digitale care recompenseaza platformele online in loc de creatorii de continut, cu anxietatea schimbarilor climatice atarnand palpabil in aer, Morissette hotarat contemporana scufunda cititorii intr-un an vagabond al iubirii moderne, pe masura ce Daniel si Grace isi navigheaza aspiratiile, nesigurantele si ambitii in mijlocul unei culturi obsedate de satisfactia instantanee a selfie-urilor si a identitatii de sine.
