Rachel Kushner's novel, Creation Lake, is a linguistically deceptive and thrilling spy novel set in present-day France. The protagonist, Sadie Smith, is a secret agent who infiltrates a radical commune to investigate their involvement in acts of sabotage against agro-industrial corporations. However, the secrets she carries and the identities she assumes are often themselves fictions, blurring the line between reality and deception. The novel explores themes of radical politics, the destruction of culture and nature for profit, and the power of language. While the plot may seem formulaic, Kushner's skillful storytelling and charismatic narrator make for an engaging and thought-provoking read. [Extracted from the article] |
