DEATH VALLEY - MELISSA BRODER KARTONIERT (TB)

Named a Best Book of 2023 by The New York Times (incandescent...hilarious...a triumph)  Oprah
Daily (surreal  absurd  lucid  and wise)  Vanity Fair (Broder [is] a genius and a sorceress) 
and more! From the visionary author of Milk Fed and The Pisces  a darkly funny novel about
grief and a magical tale of survival (Publishers Weekly  starred review). In Melissa Broder's
astonishingly profound new novel  a woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from
an emptiness that plagues her. She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of
sorrow-for both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel
provides  however  is not peace but a path discovered on a nearby hike. Out along the
sun-scorched trail  the narrator encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it
should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there  with a gash through its side that
beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent
sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich  hilarious  and poignant. Death Valley is
Melissa Broder at her most imaginative  most universal  and finest  and is a journey unlike any
you've read before (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah  author of Friday Black).
