Description
A novel about making art, love, and children during the twilight of an empire, 10:04 is a stunning and urgent work by Ben Lerner. The narrator's life has taken unexpected turns in recent years, including a literary success, a medical diagnosis, and an offer to help his best friend conceive a child.
In this New York set novel, the author explores the challenges of living in a city where social unrest and superstorms are increasingly frequent. As the narrator grapples with his own mortality and the prospect of fatherhood, he must come to terms with what it means to be alive in a world that is rapidly changing.
Ben Lerner's writing has been praised for its intelligence, originality, and humor, and 10:04 is no exception. This book offers a unique perspective on contemporary life, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
