Seller Description
"Insanely funny, by turns tragic and, ultimately, redemptive, The Standard Grand is a desperate masterpiece of a debut: honest, epic, constantly surprising, and relentlessly entertaining." -BONNIE J0 CAMPBELL, finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and author of American Salvage and Once Upon a River "Whip-smart dialogue and keen emotional insight bring a ragtag, damaged, but lovable cast of characters to life... [An] exceptional first novel... The Standard Grand is an important and deeply human contribution to the national conversation." -B00KLIST (Starred Review) "I find few things more hopeful, in these darkening times, than a writer who can stare, unblinking, into the gut-wrenching destruction humans are wreaking upon each other and the earth, and still find shards of humor and humanity. A dash of Coetzee, a dram of DeLillo, but mostly just the complicated compassion of Nicorvo. The Standard Grand is a brutally beautiful novel." -PAM HOUSTON, author of Contents May Have Shifted "The Standard Grand defies categorization as a novel; its pleasures are those of both the family saga and the government-covert-secrets sort. The reader engages politically, emotionally, and morally, with a page-turning obsession to see what, exactly, could (despite what should) possibly happen next." -ANTONYA NELSON, author of Bound and Funny Once
