ISLAND CITY
A woman spills the story of her life to a bar full of strangers in the acerbic first novel from Laura Adamczyk.
“Utterly immersive, Island City is like an intimate conversation with a stranger at 1 am. It’s laced with stinging humor, clarifying wisdom, and the grainy detail of lived experience. This is a novel that seeps into your bones.” —Ling Ma
"[Adamczyk] doesn’t traffic in luxury. Instead, she traffics in the pities of existence, told with stylish wit and a slicing lack of varnish . . . [Island City became] funnier the sadder it got." —Amanda Goldblatt, BOMB Magazine
