The Hitch — Sara Levine

A New York Times Book Review Editors PickA riotously sharp novel about self righteousness control and the unexpected afterlife of a dogRose Cutler prides herself on her principles veganism feminism eco consciousness and general moral superiority She runs a yogurt business she quietly despises and lives alone comfortably distanced from the mess of human relationships But when her brother and sister in law let her watch her six year old nephew Nathan things go spectacularly wrong After Rose s dog kills a corgi at the park Nathan begins to bark overeat and claim that the dead dog has possessed his body Rose assumes this is trauma Nathan insists it s metaphysical fact As Rose embarks on a misguided quest to free Nathan from his canine passenger what begins as an attempt at childcare devolves into a surreal anarchic spiral of suburban chaos Brimming with unhinged charm and moral ambiguity The Hitch is a biting satire of the stories we tell ourselves to stay sane and the havoc we wreak when those stories fall apart Tanıtım Bülteninden
