Melbourne author Chloe Wilson satirizes female vanity in darkly comic debut novel
Melbourne author Chloe Wilson's satirical novel "The Thornbacks" follows morticians Gertie and Tabatha who speak simultaneously in stereo monologue. The women obsessed with makeup and beauty products excel at making corpses presentable, but also catfish men online using a fake dating persona named Poppy, then spike their drinks. Wilson's dark comedy skewers female vanity and male gullibility with forensic precision.
