ABOUT THIS BOOK: The first big novel of 2022: an epic literary thriller set where America is right now in which a band of unlikely heroes sets out on a quest to save one innocent life-and might end up saving us all. Something is happening to teenagers across America spreading through memes only they can parse. At the Float Anxiety Abatement Center in a suburb of Chicago Simon Oliver is trying to recover from his sister's tragic passing. He breaks out to join a woman named Louise and a man called The Prophet on a quest as urgent as it is enigmatic. Who lies at the end of the road A man known as The Wizard whose past encounter with Louise sparked her own collapse. Their quest becomes a rescue mission when they join up with a man whose sister is being held captive by the Wizard impregnated and imprisoned in a tower. Noah Hawley's new novel is an adventure that finds unquenchable lights in dark corners. Unforgettably vivid characters and a plot as fast and bright as pop cinema blend in a Vonnegutian story that is as timeless as a Grimm's fairy tale. It is a leap into the idiosyncratic pulse of the American heart written with the bravado literary power and feverish foresight that have made Hawley one of our most essential writers.Publisher.
