About this listen
Jacky ‘The Beetle' McKenzie is, if you ask her, the most sensible and rational person in the world. Unfortunately, her ordinary and the rest of the world's ordinary don't mix. To the rest of the world, she is belligerent, weird, obsessive, angry and volatile.
Always, in the background, husband Mark and girlfriend Clarissa have one eye on each other, both asking the same question—which of them will she push too far first? Which of them will abandon her, and which will be left to pick up the pieces?
A Scarab Where the Heart Should Be invites us into the mind of one of the world's few true individuals as she embarks on her quest to streamline her life into the most perfect version it can be. Part visionary architect, part whirlwind of furious artistic chaos, but always, unwaveringly, searingly true to herself, this is a case study on what happens when obstinate obsession comes up against an unyielding society.
