Paula Bomer: If you describe yourself as a victim, you're dismissed'
Briefly

Paula Bomer, known for her involvement in the alt lit movement, has gained admiration for her vivid writing that explores women's struggles under pressure. Her latest novel, The Stalker, features an antihero named Robert Doughten Savile, who, despite lacking material means, navigates New York with a sense of groundless entitlement. Bomer's works often delve into unconventional themes, and while she has garnered respect within literary circles, mainstream recognition has eluded her until now with this new release.
Bomer's latest novel, The Stalker, is all about the nastiest, most parasitic kind of survival, portraying an antihero with a sense of entitlement that obliterates those around him.
Bomer was involved with the cohort of mid-2000s US writing broadly characterised as alt lit, often examining women under pressure from an uncanny perspective.
