Rotten

A novel by Mandy Brownholtz

Set against a grimy, punk DC, spiraling college dropout and freelance writer Viv Taylor revisits her unresolved past when a local paper assigns her a story on underground DIY venue Fort Rotten. Predating #MeToo, Viv reckons with the difference between choice and acquiescence, free will and circumstance, and ultimately determines that the only choice we have is to take ownership of ourselves, our stories, and our love of self.
