THE VEGAN - ANDREW LIPSTEIN KARTONIERT (TB)

Andrew Lipstein's The Vegan is a meaty comedy with a bleeding heart  highly recommended for all
animals who read' Joshua Cohen  winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction Herschel Caine is
a master of the universe. His hedge fund  built on the miracle of machine learning  is inches
away from systematically sapping profits from the market. His SoHo offices (shoes optional 
therapy required) are ready for desperate investors to flood through the doors. But on May 12 
his mind is elsewhere-at his Cobble Hill townhouse and the dinner party designed to impress his
flawless neighbors. When the soiree falters  Herschel concocts a prank that goes horrifically
awry  plunging him into a tailspin of guilt and regret. As Herschel's perfect world starts to
slip away  he clings to the moral clarity he finds in the last place he'd expect: a sudden
connection with his neighbor's dog. A wildly inventive  reality-bending trip  The Vegan holds a
mirror up to its reader and poses a question only a hedge fund manager could: is purity a
convertible asset? The more Herschel disavows his original sin  and the more it threatens to be
revealed  the more it becomes something else entirely: a way into a forgotten world of animals
nature  and life beyond words. Andrew Lipstein  the author of Last Resort  a novel that 'you'll
think about . . . for weeks after you read the last pages' (Los Angeles Times)  challenges our
ideas of contemporary morality (and morality tales) in his scintillating  provocative second
novel.
