The Exhibitionist is a novel that has been recognized with numerous awards and accolades. It was named the Book of the Year for 2022 by The Times, Guardian, and Good Housekeeping. It has also been longlisted for the prestigious Women's Prize for Fiction. The novel is written by Charlotte Mendelson and is described as a devastating treat of a book that is funny, furious, dark, and delicious.


The story revolves around the Hanrahan family, who are gathered for a momentous weekend when Ray, the father, is showcasing his artwork for the first time in decades. Ray is an acclaimed artist and a notorious narcissist who is obsessed with his own reputation. His wife, Lucia, is a lauded sculptor who is terrified of what recognition could bring. She has a secret of her own that could tear the family apart.


The family includes Ray's three children: Leah, the eldest daughter, who is devoted to her father and convinced of his genius; Patrick, Lucias sensitive son, who has finally decided to strike out by himself; and Jess, the youngest daughter, who is insecure and facing a daunting decision. As they gather for the exhibition, each member of the family must make a choice that will have a lasting impact on their lives.


The novel explores themes of art, sacrifice, toxic family politics, queer desire, and personal freedom. It is a brilliant exploration of the human condition, with characters that are complex, flawed, and utterly unforgettable. The writing is sharp, witty, and filled with moments of both humor and heartache.


The Exhibitionist is a must-read for anyone who loves a well-crafted novel that challenges the boundaries of genre and expectation. It is a devastating treat of a book that will leave you thinking long after you have finished reading it.
