The Book of George by Kate Greathead

The Book of George by Kate Greathead

This is the story of one life. But George is a thousand men.

This book is a knockout Mesmerizing from page one, it's Stoner meets Mrs. Bridge meets George, the millennial male we can't look away from. Kate Greathead has gifted us with a character for the ages, and a novel that is sure to be swooned over and endlessly discussed. -- Maria Semple, author of WHERE'D YOU GO, BERNADETTE?
The Book of George is not only an excellent novel - it's also one of the most interesting books I've read in a long time. Engaging from the first page, it nevertheless gains momentum as it progresses, deftly building toward something larger and unexpected, a portrait of a character - and to an extent a generation - that's as convincing as it is moving. -- Adelle Waldman, author of THE LOVE AFFAIRS OF NATHANIEL P and HELP WANTED
Both epic and intimate in scope - The World According to Garp for millennials. Painfully funny, sublimely astute, lovingly observed. A must-read tragicomedy for our times -- Sharlene Teo, author of PONTI
Kate Greathead is an astonishingly talented writer. Every sentence in this novel glitters with insight and humour. A perceptive, funny and tender portrayal of the complicated relationships that define our adulthood -- Alison Espach, author of THE WEDDING PEOPLE
I laughed out loud multiple times. The tone and style are just perfect - so sharp, cutting and hilarious - beautifully and shrewdly capturing the zeitgeist of mediocre Georges. -- Jyoti Patel, author of THE THINGS THAT WE LOST
Greathead's portrayal of an aggrieved white man struggling to find his place in the world is as much a portrait of an unsuccessful artist as a young man as it is a portrait of our times * Kirkus Reviews *
Wry and riveting...This is a revelation * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
Equally hilarious and heartbreaking, The Book of George reads like a modern epic...With razor-sharp wit and resonant observation, Kate Greathead expertly tracks the journey into adulthood with a mix of self-deprecating humour and quiet resilience * Camille Styles *

Kate Greathead is the author of Laura & Emma. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, the New York Times and on PRX's The Moth Radio Hour. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, the writer Teddy Wayne, and their children.
