"How To Get Into the Twin Palms was a mini-masterpiece of
atmosphere and mood; a new book is a cause for celebration."--Emily
Gould, author of "Friendship "
"The Invaders is a gut punch of a novel--a scathing look at
privileged people trapped by their own choices, but unable to
imagine an alternative to their misery. Karolina Waclawiak is a
remarkable writer, able to channel the unflinching clarity of
Richard Yates, the off-kilter tenderness of Cheever, and taut
narrative energy of crime fiction in a voice that is all her
own."--Tom Perrotta, author of "The Leftovers and Little Children
"
"The Invaders is an elegant, ominous book, a sharp, witty novel of
manners of the most sinister kind. In Waclawiak's expert hands,
this novel will have you holding your breath and your heart until
the very last word."--Roxane Gay, author of "Bad Feminist and An
Untamed State "
"The Invaders is as crisp as they come, hilarious and alarming in
equal measure. This book is a time bomb in madras shorts, ready for
golf, sex, and natural disasters."--Emma Straub, author of "The
Vacationers and Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures "
"A blazing wonder of a novel . . . As whip-smart and cunning as it
is poignant and mysterious, The Invaders demonstrates that
Waclawiak's masterful debut novel, How to Get into the Twin Palms,
was just the beginning."--Megan Abbott, author of "Dare Me "
"Karolina Waclawiak's The Invaders is the stiffest of literary
drinks--it'll jolt your system, and make the world around you glow
a little differently when you're done with it. Witty, dark, and
honest, this novel tells the hard--but hilarious--truths about
aging in America, dysfunctional relationships, and suburban
vices."--Jami Attenberg, author of "The Middlesteins "
