Lowboy (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

'America's most original young writer has given us a book for the age. Compelling, compassionate and deeply unsettling, Lowboy introduces us to the brilliant sixteen-year-old Will Heller, a Holden Caulfield for our troubled times.'
Gary Shteyngart, author of Absurdistan

'Sucks you into the tunnels under New York and doesn't let you go. Wray effortlessly portrays the cracked and distorted mind of his teenage hero. What a beguiling novel!'
Tim Pears, author of In the Place of Fallen Leaves

'A psychotic, subterranean, environmentally conscious coming-of-age novel. It is also an affecting and affectionate love letter to New York.'
Nathan Englander, author of The Ministry of Special Cases

'The novel has a thriller-like pace and Wray keeps us riveted. The opening pages recall Salinger, but the denouement and haunting aftertaste may make the stunned reader whisper "Dostoevsky". Yes, it really is that good.'
Kirkus
