How It Works Out

“What an audacious, breathtaking, and inspiring debut. The power of this formally innovative and deeply funny book is that everything exists to serve the compassionate heart at its core. Myriam Lacroix’s work is a cause for celebration.” — George Saunders, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo and Liberation Day

Surreal, darkly comic, and achingly tender, Myriam Lacroix’s exuberant debut How It Works Out sees a queer love story play out in many alternate realities.

What if you had the chance to rewrite the course of your relationship, again and again, in the hopes that it would work out?

How It Works Out follows the arc of Myriam and Allison’s relationship by running the couple through a series of hypotheticals. What if they became mothers by finding a baby in an alley? What if the only cure for Myriam’s depression was Allison’s flesh? What if they were B-list celebrities, famous for writing a book about building healthy lesbian relationships? How much darker—or sexier—would their dynamic be if one were a power-hungry CEO, and the other her lowly employee? From the fantasies of early romance to the slow encroaching of violence that unravels the fantasy, each reality builds to complete a brilliant, painfully funny portrait of love’s many promises and perils.

Equal parts sexy and profane, unsentimental, and gut-wrenching, How It Works Out is a formally inventive, arresting, uncanny exploration of queerness, love, and our drive for connection, in any and all possible worlds.
