Bad Eminence

In "Bad Eminence," we follow Vanessa Salomon, a disenchanted French-American translator grappling with her privileged but tumultuous life, including a resentful rivalry with her famous twin sister and the fallout from a lost love. As she embarks on an English translation of a provocative thriller by a deceased author, she is quickly drawn into a whirlwind of intrigue when she takes on a project for an Extremely Famous French Writer. This leads Vanessa into a surreal realm filled with literary traps, doppelgangers, and mystic visions, all while exploring themes of modern celebrity. Enriched with humorous "sponsored content" featuring cocktail recipes and a nod to actress Juno Temple, the story engages with both classic literary parody and contemporary culture.
