Imagine Me Gone - Hardcover

""Imagine Me Gone" is an extraordinary work of art. The family Adam Haslett has created feels as true and as complex as our own actual families are, and somehow lays as deep a claim upon our love and loyalty. The eldest son, Michael, is simply one of the finest characters I've ever come across in fiction. This beautiful, tragic novel will haunt you for the rest of your life and you will be all the more human for it."
"Paul Harding, Pulitzer Prize winner for "Tinkers"""

""Imagine Me Gone" is literature of the highest order. It manages to be both dreadfully sad and hilariously funny all at once. It is luminous with love." "Peter Carey, Man Booker Prize winner for "True History of the Kelly Gang"

Praise for You Are Not a Stranger Here
"Haslett is an eloquent, precise miniaturist, and his characters' struggles with their own assumptions collectively provide a fascinating snapshot of life during the era of Prozac, when new ways of thinking about emotion have forced us to adjust our notion of identity and even, perhaps, of grace." "New Yorker""

"Spectacular. . . . You should buy this book, you should read it, and you should admire it. . . . [It] is the herald of a phenomenal career." "The New York Times Book Review""

"Haslett possesses a rich assortment of literary gifts: an instinctive empathy for his characters and an ability to map their inner lives in startling detail; a knack for graceful, evocative prose; and a determination to trace the hidden arithmetic of relationships." "New York Times""

"Extraordinary. . . . Frighteningly tender. . . . Displays an order as natural as a tree branch in winter-lithe and achingly austere." "The Boston Globe""
