With this taut, arresting debut, a woman becomes fixated on her neighbor—the actress.
Although two women live just a few doors aside, a chasm lies between them. The celebrity, a celebrity having a charmed career, stocks a gleaming brownstone with her good looking hubby and three adorable children, while the recently separated narrator, unhappily childless and trapped inside a dead-end job, lives in a run-down, three-story walk-up with her ex-husband’s cat.
As her fascination expands, the narrator’s hold on fact begins to slide. In a short time, she’s collecting cast-off items from the celebrity’s stoop and fantasizing about sleeping using the actress’s hubby. After a disastrous interaction with the celebrity in the annual stop party, what began as an innocent preoccupation turns into a stunning—and irrevocable—unraveling. Immersive and darkly entertaining, Looker is normally a searing emotional portrait of obsession.
