The exhilarating debut book by iconic filmmaker David Cronenberg: the storyline of two journalists whose entanglement in a French philosopher's loss of life becomes a surreal voyage into global conspiracy. Stylish and camera-obsessed, Naomi and Nathan flourish on the yellow journalism of the social-media age group. They are addicts and competitors - nomadic freelancers in search of experience and depravity, encountering one another only in air-port hotels and browser windows. Naomi detects herself drawn to the headlines surrounding Célestine and Aristide Arosteguy, Marxist philosophers and intimate libertines. Célestine has been found deceased and mutilated in her Paris apartment. Aristide has vanished. Police believe him of getting rid of her and consuming elements of her body. With the help of an eccentric graduate learner known as Hervé Blomqvist, Naomi sets off in search of Aristide. As she delves deeper into Célestine and Aristide's lives, disturbing details emerge about their love-making life - which included trysts with Hervé yet others. Can Naomi trust Hervé to help her? Nathan, meanwhile, is Budapest photographing the questionable work associated with an unlicensed surgeon known as Zoltán Molnár, once desired by Interpol for body organ trafficking. After sleeping with one of Molnár's patients, Nathan contracts a rare STD called Roiphe's. Nathan then vacations to Toronto, established to meet up with the man who learned the symptoms. Dr. Barry Roiphe, Nathan discovers, now studies his own adult little girl, whose bizarre action masks a damaging technique. These parallel narratives become entwined in a gripping, dreamlike storyline which involves geopolitics, 3-D printing, North Korea, the Cannes Film Festivity, cancer, and, within an incredible number of varieties, love-making. Consumed can be an exuberant, provocative debut book in one of the world's leading film directors.
