Super Sad True Love Story

'An intoxicating brew of keen-edged satire, social porphecy, linguistic exuberance and emotional wallop' David Mitchell

In a very near future a functionally illiterate America is about to collapse. But no one's told Lenny Abramov. He's still turning up to work at 'Post Human Services', attempting to provide immortality for its super-rich clientele. He's also wooing the impossibly cute Eunice Park - just graduated with a major in 'Images' and a minor in 'Assertiveness'. When riots break out in New York and Chinese creditors look ready to foreclose on the whole country, Lenny must convince his fickle new love that in a time without standards or stability, there is still value in being a real human being.

Wildly funny, lyrical and humane, written by a writer at the dazzling peak of his powers, Super Sad True Love Story is a deliciously dark elegy, and a tale of America's coming years.

'A terrific novel... a ribald comic romp through a dystopian near-future America, where the truly alarming aspects of life are esstially just slightly exaggerated aspects of ours, here, right now' Dazed & Confused
