ANew York TimesEditors Choice, Winner of the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters Prize for Fiction, Longlisted for the 2018 Southern Book Prize

Deft and wonderful, wholly original . . . sharp and fresh . . . Knight pays careful, writerly attention to the details of desperation. His charactersoften entombed in middle-age despairin their weakened, even futile attempts to shift position, if not actually escape, give a reader the sensation of watching the lateral movements of blobs of life wriggling beneath a microscope.
