Praise for Soft Core
“Soft Core is not just a book but a fully realized and highly seductive way of life—louche, fleshy, and freestyle. Brittany Newell, a hoarder of details and perfumer of moods, has written an existential dual-mystery that’s as carefully structured as it is emotionally urgent, like a ransom note in sonnet form. Deeply impressive and fun as hell!” —Tony Tulathimutte
“Brittany Newell’s prose is too elegant to be called raw, but the oomph, the heart, makes everything feel so real. I love this world and this narrator, the risks she takes, the story she tells, simple yet so seductive and just teeming with aliveness.” —Michelle Tea
