Nosejob invites you to light a candle.
Step into your fantasy.
You love it so much.
Right?
You do like your fantasy, don’t you?
It is yours, isn’t it?
Crossing medieval legend with American sexual politics, Nosejob tells the story of a 9th century abbey of nuns who cut off their noses to repel a pack of rapacious vikings, and a 21st century college where boys are “burying” their faces in girls’ cleavage as part of a schoolwide prank. At the center of this wicked satire is college student Devon Chase, a feminist in search of a fantasy life she can live with.
Nosejob charts the contours of consent, power, and fantasy to ask what has changed about rape culture in the last 13 centuries?
