The New World - Softcover

Even to describe this book feels like blasphemy but I promise you'll exit agog, overjoyed, transformed. Karen Russell, author of Swamplandia! and Sleep Donation

Jane and Jim have such basic human desires-they want to live, they want to be good-and "The New World" tracks how these basic pursuits can so quickly turn absurd, sad, and unforeseeably strange. It's a wild and fun book, yes, and also a precipitously imaginative and intelligent one. But maybe most importantly, its humor is profound and seems to come from the heart of an angel. Rivka Galchen, author of American Innovations

I literally couldn't be a bigger fan of Chris Adrian's uniquely compassionate and wildly inventive voice. In "The New World," Adrian pairs with Eli Horowitz to create a cryogenically intimate meditation on life and loss, and what it might mean to live forever. Nathan Englander, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank"
