"A meticulous and pitch-perfect fever dream of adolescence,
reminiscent of Shirley Jackson remixed by Mary Gaitskill."
-Jonathan Lethem, author of The Fortress of Solitude and Chronic
City
"Original, electric, and fearless . . . Every page of The Beginners
shimmers with the intensity of language shaped around, aimed at,
what can't be said or explained within the convention of a haunted
New England town and its teenage antiheroine."
-Kate Christensen, author of The Great Man and Trouble
"What a marvel, what a wonder, is this novel. It made me think of
Rilke in collaboration with Emily Brontë. . . . Ravishing."
-Peter Straub, author of Shadowland and A Dark Matter
