A review by balletbookworm
The Adulterants by Joe Dunthorne

3.0

Lord, grant me the self-confidence of a mediocre white dude.

I think this novel is supposed to be satirical, but it really just comes off as the narrative of some sad-sack idiot who isn’t even as remotely woke as he thinks he is. He kind of deserves everything that happens.

Thanks Tin House Galley Club for the ARC
