  Astrid Dahl is a mess. The protagonist of “Perfume & Pain,” the latest novel from Anna Dorn, is a self-obsessed L.A. novelist trying to rebuild her life after an ill-advised quip gets her canceled. In what is, essentially, a comedy of 21st-century manners, Dahl has to grow up if she wants to reclaim her career and perhaps find love in the process.
