New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2015
Set in the underbelly of New York, Preparation for the Next Life exposes an America as seen from the fringes of society and, in devastating detail, destroys the myth of the American Dream through two of the most remarkable characters in contemporary fiction. Powerful, realistic and raw, this is one of the most ambitious - and necessary - novels of our time.
Buy Preparation for the Next Life by Atticus Lish from Australia's Online Independent Bookstore, Boomerang Books.
