An electrifying novel-in-stories that follows a cast of intricately linked characters as rejection throws their lives and relationships into chaos.Sharply observant and outrageously funny, Rejection is a provocative plunge into the touchiest problems of modern life. The seven connected stories seamlessly transition between the personal crises of a complex ensemble and the comic tragedies of sex, relationships, identity, and the internet.In “The Feminist,” a young man’s passionate allyship turns to furious nihilism as he realizes, over thirty lonely years, that it isn’t getting him laid. A young woman’s unrequited crush in “Pics” spirals into borderline obsession and the systematic destruction of her sense of self. And in “Ahegao; or, The Ballad of Sexual Repression,” a shy late bloomer’s flailing efforts at a first relationship leads to a life-upending mistake. As the characters pop up in each other’s dating apps and social media feeds, or meet in dimly lit bars and bedrooms, they reveal the ways our delusions can warp our desire for connection.These brilliant satires explore the underrated sorrows of rejection with the authority of a modern classic and the manic intensity of a manifesto. Audacious and unforgettable, Rejection is a stunning mosaic that redefines what it means to be rejected by lovers, friends, society, and oneself.

PRIVATE CITIZENS has been recognized as a best book of the year by numerous outlets, including New York Magazine/Vulture and The New Yorker. It was also an Amazon Best Book of the Month in Literature & Fiction. Lauded as "the first great millennial novel" by New York Magazine, it offers a sweeping comic portrait of privilege, ambition, and friendship in millennial San Francisco. With the social insight of Adelle Waldman and the sharp wit of Martin Amis, this debut is a brainy, irreverent exploration of a new era. The novel captures the anxious mood of young college graduates in the 2000s, presenting a loving satire of contemporary contradictions. Its four clever narrators—idealistic Cory, Internet-savvy Will, awkward Henrik, and sharp-tongued Linda—struggle between their desires to change the world and their tendencies to exploit it. Through vibrant prose that oscillates between humor and pain, the estranged friends navigate the Bay Area's landscape of tech startups, protests, gentrification, karaoke bars, and self-help seminars, ultimately reconnecting in each other's lives. This insightful depiction of a generation grappling with privilege and the search for grace in failure is both deeply intelligent and heartfelt.
