From the visionary author of Milk Fed and The Pisces, a darkly funny novel about grief and a “magical tale of survival”
(Publishers Weekly, starred review).
In Melissa Broder’s astonishingly profound new novel, a woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from an emptiness that plagues her.What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path discovered on a nearby hike.
Out along the sun-scorched trail, the narrator encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there, with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious, and poignant.
Tombolo Books is thrilled to welcome Melissa Broder to the bookstore to discuss her latest novel DEATH VALLEY!
