Emma Cline's 'The Guest' is this summer's anti-vacation novel.
. It’s more like a"what if everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, while on vacation" novel.
"Either consciously or unconsciously, you're almost reacting against the book you wrote before. 'The Girls' was moving around, past and present — it spans all these decades," Cline shares."It was a lot about how the past informs the present, and kind of this tangle of timelines." "The Guest" reveals little about Alex other than how she ended up on Long Island. She previously was a sex worker in New York City, and she met an older man at a bar and developed a relationship with him.
As Alex grows more desperate to get out of the city for reasons that aren't quite clear, the man invites her to stay with him at his house for a few weeks at the end of the summer — problem solved . Cline is referring to Alex's phone consistently not turning on almost as soon as the book begins. And while that's relatively low stakes, Alex has to navigate finding places to stay and meals to eat in a place she knows no one, all without a cell phone connection.turn on, a mysterious man named Dom is barraging her with calls and texts. As the book progresses, it becomes clear Alex owes this man a large sum of money, though we don't know why or what she did to be indebted to him.
