Description
This novel, a New York Times Notable Book, offers funny and occasionally devastating “portraits of humanity...as beautifully mundane and unique as a fingerprint” (Entertainment Weekly). ¶ “Wonderful...the work of a fluid, confident and profoundly talented writer.” --Dave Eggers ¶ A highly inventive and corrosively funny story of our times, Want Not exposes three different worlds in various states of disrepair--a young freegan couple living off the grid in New York City; a once-prominent linguist, sacked at midlife by the dissolution of his marriage and his father's losing battle with Alzheimer's; and a self-made debt-collecting magnate, whose brute talent for squeezing money out of unlikely places has yielded him a royal existence, trophy wife included. Want and desire propel these characters forward toward something, anything, more, until their worlds collide, briefly, randomly, yet irrevocably, in a shattering ending that will haunt readers long after the last page is turned. ¶“An impassioned work of fiction.” --Dallas Morning News
