Frederich Vogel was taken when he discovered the secrets of the Femme Noir. Held captive by Mistress Eris, their merciless leader, he became accustomed to being her dedicated, submissive slave. When a mysterious virus ravages the world, those who were naturally immune were the only ones to survive. Frederich was one of them along with Eris, who capitalizes on the chaos of the aftermath to harness power over all who remained. Other members of the Femme Noir also survive and came together to form their version of the perfect society in the wake of world-wide catastrophe.

Using her compulsive reading as a lens through which to bring coherence to her life, 25-year-old Catherine engages in a series of sexual relationships, thinking that desire is the key to a meaningful life. Yet, with each encounter, it becomes more and more clear: Desire has no explanation; desire bears no significance. Sludge Utopia presents, in highly examined, raw detail, the perspective of a young woman’s punishing though intermittently gratifying sexuality and profound internalized misogyny, which causes her to bring all of life’s events under sexuality’s prism.
