The Wallcreeper
‘Heady and rambunctious … Wake up, this book says: in its plot lines, in its humour, in its philosophical underpinnings and political agenda. I'll pay it the highest compliment it knows – this book is a wild thing.’ New York Times Book Review

Mislaid
Startlingly radical, dazzlingly witty, unlike anything that has come before – this is the most exciting novel you will read this year. ‘Nell Zink is a writer of extraordinary talent and range. Her work insistently raises the possibility that the world is larger and stranger than the world you think you know.’ Jonathan Franzen

Doxology
Two generations of an American family come of age - one before 9/11, one after - in this moving and original novel from the "intellectually restless, uniquely funny" (New York Times Book Review) mind of Nell ZinkPam, Daniel, and Joe might be the worst punk band on the Lower East Side. Struggling to scrape together enough cash and musical talent to make it, they are waylaid by surprising arrivals - a daughter for Pam and Daniel, a solo hit single for Joe. As the '90s wane, the three friends share in one another's successes, working together to elevate Joe's superstardom and raise baby Flora.On September 11, 2001, the city's unfathomable devastation coincides with a shattering personal loss for the trio. In the aftermath, Flora comes of age, navigating a charged political landscape and discovering a love of the natural world. Joining the ranks of those fighting for ecological conservation, Flora works to bridge the wide gap between powerful strategists and ordinary Americans, becoming entangled ever more intimately with her fellow activists along the way. And when the country faces an astonishing new threat, Flora's family will have no choice but to look to the past - both to examine wounds that have never healed, and to rediscover strengths they have long forgotten.At once an elegiac takedown of today's political climate and a touching invocation of humanity's goodness, Doxology offers daring revelations about America's past and possible future that could only come from Nell Zink, one of the sharpest novelists of our time.

Nicotina
Penny è una ragazza tutto fuorché ortodossa, e appartiene a una famiglia che definire atipica sarebbe riduttivo. Dopo la morte del padre, un guaritore hippie di malati terminali, si ritrova unica erede della sua casa d'infanzia che, nel lungo periodo in cui è rimasta in stato di abbandono, si è trasformata in una comune abitata da individui eccentrici che l'hanno ribattezzata Nicotina. L'insolita e divertente storia di una famiglia disfunzionale alle prese con una catena di eventi bizzarri e di ancor più strani incastri sentimentali si trasforma, pagina dopo pagina, nel diario attento e quotidiano di una vita fuori dalle regole. Ed è proprio questo particolare angolo visuale che permette a Neil Zink di regalarci un romanzo sorprendentemente umano, fatto di persone e non di personaggi: una satira sociale amorevole e insieme dura su un mondo apparentemente liberato che invece è ancora imbrigliato nelle convenzioni prefemministe. Un'opera illuminante su come trovare ordine nel caos, su come accettare le idiosincrasie delle persone più strampalate e far pace con la propria famiglia, biologica o meno, ristretta o allargata che sia. Un libro che a volte potrà turbare, ma che sicuramente saprà far sorridere.

Der Mauerläufer
Ein hinreißender Roman über Ehe, Liebe, Treue (und Europa, Vögel und den Umweltschutz) von einer amerikanischen Autorin, die seit Jahren in einem kleinen Ort in Brandenburg lebt - einer Entdeckung von Jonathan Franzen. Bis hoch hinauf zur New York Times wurde Nell Zink gefeiert als literarische Entdeckung und ihr Roman als "Debüt des Jahres" in den USA. Berner Oberland, 21. Jahrhundert. Dies und das passiert, nachdem das Auto den Felsen geschrammt hat. Tiffany ist nicht mehr schwanger. Stephen fängt, na ja, den wunderbarsten Vogel überhaupt - flink, in einer Art Tarnkleid und schön -, so einen hat er zum allerersten Mal gesichtet. Und der Mauerläufer, der Mauerläufer macht: "Twii!" Der Mauerläufer, ein rasant erzählter Entwicklungs- und Eheroman, der zwischen scheinbar weit auseinanderliegenden Themen wie Seitensprüngen, Vogelbeobachtung, Drogen, Kinderwunsch, Dubstep, Sex, lästigen kleinen Pflichten, Öko-Aktivismus und Orten wie Bern, Berlin, Sachsen-Anhalt und dem Balkan überraschende Brücken schlägt, ist ein vor unerhörten Einfällen sprühendes, komisches, kluges, mitunter verrücktes, freches, derbes, engagiertes, impulsives, auch zartes, melancholisches Buch. Wie der Mauerläufer - flink, in einer Art Tarnkleid und schön.
