"From her first book onward, A.M. Homes has been challenging us to look at fiction, the world, and one other as we haven’t done—because we haven’t had the nerve, the eyes, the dire and dispassionate imagination. Gripping, sad, funny, by turns aching and antic and, as always, exceedingly well-observed and written, The Unfolding opens up another one of her jagged windows, at times indistinguishable from a crack, in the world that is always unfolding, and always vanishing, around us." — Michael Chabon, bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Moonglow and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
“A terrific black comedy, written almost entirely in pitch-perfect dialogue, that feels terrifyingly close to the unfunny truth.” — Salman Rushdie, New York Times bestselling author of The Golden House and Quichott"
“How can a book be hilarious and chilling at the same time? A.M. Homes’s The Unfolding is a modern masterpiece, a scary immersion deep into the heart of American power. I will never look at a white man in khakis reading historical non-fiction in business class the same way again.” — Gary Shteyngart, New York Times bestselling author of Little Failure and Super Sad True Love Story
"A dazzling portrait of a family—and a country—in flux. A story about what happens when truths that once seemed self-evident turn out to be neither self-evident nor even true. A.M. Homes has perfectly captured an America as it lurches toward freak-out, and a family as it shreds the lies it’s been living by. The Unfolding is hilarious and shocking and heartbreaking and just a little bit deranged—in other words, it’s a book that feels like what it feels like to be alive right now." — Nathan Hill, author of The Nix
“The Unfolding is wonderful. Compelling, funny, horrifying, and tremendously astute, this novel cuts right to the bone.” — Phil Klay, National Book Award-winning author of Redeployment and Missionarie
“The book is a disarming and heartbreaking family romance, a diagnosis of our present dilemma, and an exhibition of Delillo-sharp nerve and vision, told in dialogue that crackles and pops from the force of its internal contradictions.” — Jonathan A. Lethem, National Book Critics Circle's Award-winning author of Motherless Brooklyn
