THE FALCONER - DANA CZAPNIK GEBUNDEN

A New York Times Editor's Choice Pick A novel of huge heart and fierce intelligence. It has
restored my faith in pretty much everything. -Ann Patchett  #1 New York Times bestselling
author of Commonwealth [An] electric debut novel...Reader  beware: Spending time with Lucy is
unapologetic fun  and heartbreak  and awe as well. -Chloe Malle  The New York Times Book Review
In this frank  bittersweet coming-of-age story that crackles with raw adolescent energy 
fresh-cut prose  and a kinetic sense of place (Entertainment Weekly)  a teenaged tomboy
explores love  growing up  and New York City in the early 1990s. New York  1993. Street-smart
seventeen-year-old Lucy Adler is often the only girl on the public basketball courts. Lucy's
inner life is a contradiction. She's by turns quixotic and cynical  insecure and self-possessed
and  despite herself  is in unrequited love with her best friend and pickup teammate  Percy 
the rebellious son of a prominent New York family. As Lucy begins to question accepted notions
of success  bristling against her own hunger for male approval  she is drawn into the world of
a pair of provocative feminist artists living in what remains of New York's bohemia. Told with
wit and pathos  The Falconer is at once a novel of ideas  a portrait of a time and place  and
an ode to the obsessions of youth. In her critically acclaimed debut  Dana Czapnik captures the
voice of an unforgettable modern literary heroine  a young woman in the first flush of freedom.
