Nightbitch - Rachel Yoder🥩

After the birth of her child, an artist turns into a housewife. After a chaotic period full of isolation, the housewife transforms into a dog. 

🦴 

This book sheds light on a side of motherhood that isn’t often discussed: 

loneliness and loss of identity. 

Satire alternates with political manifesto. The book was also surprisingly sensory in its writing. 

✷ Genre: magical realism, body horror 

✷ Themes: (house)motherhood, art, alienation

✷ Recommended? Yes! For everyone who’s secretly curious about what dog food tastes like.
