King Zeno by Nathaniel Rich
From one of the most inventive writers of his generation, King Zeno is a historical crime novel and a searching inquiry into mans dreams of immortality.
Hugely readable. . King Zeno would make a great Netflix series, a murky pre-Prohibition thriller poised somewhere between LA Confidential and True Detective. * New Statesman *
The novel, like a city, somehow coheres, as Rich never loses control of the riotous raw material . . . Rich is a gifted portraitist of his three main characters . . . This is a novel with a high body count, but it has far too much energy ever to feel morbid. * The New York Times Book Review *
A groaning board of tasty literary treats . . . King Zeno offers a gritty, panoramic portrait of the Big Easy . . . Full of sharply rendered characters, gallows humor and finely observed descriptions . . . The fact that Rich comes so close to executing this ambitious literary banquet is in itself a remarkable achievement. * Washington Post *
A great detective novel, a fitting tribute to the Crescent City. * The Paris Review (Staff Pick) *
Action packed . . . Rich has a feel for New Orleans life. * San Francisco Chronicle *
