New York Times Book Review Editors' Pick
A Library Journal Best Book of 2018

Full of joys on every scale. NPR

This wonderfully original collection proves once again that Pulitzer Prize finalist Lydia Millet is the American writer with the funniest, wisest grasp on how we fool ourselves (Chicago Tribune). In Fight No More, Nina, a lonely real-estate broker estranged from her only relative, is at the center of a web of stories connecting a community through the houses they inhabit. With crackling satire and surprising tenderness, Millet introduces an indelible cast of untidy teens, beastly men, and strong-minded women whose stories begin to outline the fate of one particular family being torn apart by forces they recognize but cannot control. Millet's intellect and beautiful prose deliver profound insight into human behavior, from the ordinary to the bizarre, and draws startling contrasts between house and home.
