We’re obsessed with @lizabuehls! Her debut novel, THE OBSESSED is a wildly endearing coming-of-age story and “offbeat tale of obsession” (@soembarasched), following one young woman who reenacts the love plot of her favorite novel only to find herself flailing when she enters a relationship with a fellow literary obsessive.

Over at Debutiful.net, Buehler was interview by Barasch about the glorious voyeurism of autofiction, giving yourself permission to drop out of a PhD program, navigating the relentless pressure to produce, and the refreshing collaborative spirit of the international translation community. by @lizabuehls

Book family photo! 4 translation children and now one I wrote myself (I love all my children equally, of course.) THE OBSESSED comes out on July 28 but you can preorder it now. There is a link in my bio! Hopefully some publication festivities forthcoming later this year too. :) by @lizabuehls

Astrid is left flailing in a life scaffolded by obsession. 🤔 A bighearted portrait of the anxieties of desire, THE OBSESSED explores the trials of modern dating, the strange ennui of academia, and the question of how to create a world for yourself within and without the confines of your influences. It’s as striking portrayal of how a willing reader can bring a text to life, and similarly the animating power of a good novel.⁣

Coming July 2026, THE OBSESSED is an endearingly riotous coming-of-age debut from an award-winning translator, about a young woman who maps the love plot of her favorite novel onto her life and finds herself flailing when she gets into a relationship with a fellow literary obsessive. 📚⁣ by @lizabuehls
