Rachel Kushner's Covert Op Against Realism
Briefly

"Rachel Kushner's new novel, 'Creation Lake,' explores the world of espionage through the eyes of Sadie Smith, a complex character who embodies the moral ambiguities of her profession."
"Sadie Smith's current mission in France sees her infiltrating an anarchist commune suspected of sabotaging capitalist enterprises, raising questions about environmental ethics and rebellion."
"The novel portrays Sadie as a mercenary, driven by profit rather than principles, which leads to a deeper exploration of identity and loyalty amidst political strife."
"Through Sadie's journey, Kushner invites readers to reflect on the tradecraft of storytelling itself, blurring the lines between truth and fiction, action and consequence."
