"Elisonâs brutal, incisive novel cuts to the heart of what makes public figures vulnerable and asks us to question our voyeurism." âNew York Times Book Review She created a beautiful world. Now he wants it all. On her way to a speaking engagement, bestselling novelist Eli Grey gets into a cab and accepts a drink from the driver, trusting that everything is fine. She wakes up chained in the strangerâs basement. With no close family or friends expecting her to check in, Eli knows she needs to save herself. She soon realizes that her abduction wasnât random, and though she thinks she might recognize her captor, she canât figure out what he wants. Her only clues are that heâs very familiar with her books and deeply invested in the fantastical world she creates. What follows is a test of wills as Eli pits herself against a man who believes she owes him everythingâand is determined to take it from her. Terrifying and timely, set against the backdrop of convention culture and the MeToo reckoning, Number One Fan unflinchingly examines the tension between creator and work, fandom and source material, and the rage of fans who feel they own fiction.
