From wannebebig.com:
‘Kati Arnoldi makes her literary debut with this novel. Chemical Pink explores the dark world of competitive female bodybuilding in the 1980’s. It takes you deep within the seamy world of women’s bodybuilding and introduces the reader to the twisted fetishes associated with the sport. It is about greed, obsession, self-degradation and the consequences of going too far.”
Or as the Publishers Weekly 2002 review notes: “Pygmalion goes to the gym in this tawdry expos? of the fetishistic, dangerous world of women’s bodybuilding. Charles Worthington, a middle-aged, sexually eccentric millionaire, finds his Galatea in Aurora Jeanine Johnson, a single mom with big bodybuilding dreams. Young, blonde Aurora arrives from Savannah, Ga., in search of a new life and a new body on the West Coast. Charles spots her on a beach, then tracks her down at the gym where she is training, and the two strike up a bizarre, co-dependent relationship. In exchange for financial support and full-time training, Aurora becomes her mentor’s sexual plaything. Athough her instant and ongoing subjugation to the repulsive Charles defies all logic. Together, their goal is for Aurora to win a title in a top national competition.”
Katie’s new novel, recently published, ought to be equally grand, “The Worthingtons.”
