Caroline Kepnes on ‘You Love Me’: ‘Joe mixes love and control’
The Hindu
The author says the cultured serial killer’s superpower is his toxicity
Though the well-read serial killer Joe Goldberg, (Penn Badgley) settles down to domestic bliss with Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) and baby Henry in the suburbs in the third season of the Netflix show You, his print avatar, that the show is based on, marches to a different drum.
Caroline Kepnes’ You Love Me (Simon & Schuster, ₹550), the third book in the series, following You (2014) and Hidden Bodies (2016) sees Joe fed up with cities, moving to Bainbridge Island in the Pacific Northwest. Working as a volunteer at the local library, Joe’s rampaging cognitive dissonance sees him determined to make the librarian, Mary Kay DiMarco, love him.

The ongoing Print Biennale Exhibition at Lalit Kala Akademi, Chennai, unfolds as a journey far beyond India’s borders, tracing artistic lineages shaped by revolution and resistance across Latin America and nNorthern Africa. Presented as a collateral event of the Third Print Biennale of India, the exhibition features a selection from the Boti Llanes family collection, initiated by Dr Llilian Llanes, recipient of Cuba’s National Award for Cultural Research, and curated in India by her daughter, Liliam Mariana Boti Llanes. Bringing together the works of 48 printmaking artists from regions including Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, the exhibition is rooted in the socio-political upheavals of the 1980s and 1990s. It shows printmaking as both a political and creative tool, with works that weave stories across countries and continents.
