NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WINNER OF BOLLINGER EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE FOR COMIC FICTION
The uncannily prescient (and deliciously dark) tale of America’s dysfunctional near future—and the timeless, tender feelings that just might bring us back from the brink, by the bestselling author of The Sensualist
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY
The New York Times • The Washington Post • The Boston Globe • San Francisco Chronicle • The Seattle Times • O: The Oprah Magazine • Maureen Corrigan, NPR • Salon • Slate • Minneapolis Star Tribune • St. Louis Post-Dispatch • The Kansas City Star • Charlotte Observer • The Globe and Mail • Vancouver Sun • Montreal Gazette • Kirkus Reviews

In America's near future, young people are feeling crushed by financial crisis, the oppression of social media, a military adventure in Venezuela, and an incoming tide of fascism. Meanwhile, the middle aged are chasing elixirs of youth and our patient Chinese creditors may just be ready to foreclose on the whole mess. Then Lenny Abramov, son of a Russian immigrant janitor and ardent fan of “printed, bound media artifacts” (aka books), meets Eunice Park, a mesmerizing, unpredictable Korean American with a major in Images and a minor in Assertiveness. Could falling in love redeem a country falling apart?
