6/3/2023 0 Comments Happy hour by marlowe granados![]() ![]() Indeed, we are all currently experiencing a similar renaissance after the forced austerity of the pandemic. ![]() Happy Hour is about beauty and the essence of simple things, but also oysters and luxury and - why not? - the old-school fun of not knowing where the night will lead. The reader not only empathizes with but becomes one with Isa, the protagonist, and her flow of consciousness. It is light, but it also speaks of loneliness, difficulties, yet always with an optimistic streak. Every word evokes a sensation from our lives that lingers with the turn of the page. Marlowe Granados’s novel is a delight to read and to hear. They flirt with celebrities and work as portrait models. They navigate between various rendezvous, especially gallery openings. Two best friends, both twenty-one years old, come to the city to live a summer of delightfully hot despairing fun - on a budget, obviously. ![]() Amanda Luna Ballerini spoke with Marlowe Granados on the occasion of her debut novel, Happy Hour, recently published by Verso Books. ![]()
