Description
Shalom Auslander's Hope A Tragedy is a darkly comedic novel about a man's desperate attempt to escape the past. After moving his family to a small rural town, he hopes to start anew, but his life is soon disrupted by a local arsonist and a family member's unsettling memories. When a mysterious figure from history appears in his attic, the situation becomes increasingly complicated.
The humour in this novel is both biting and unsettling, often leaving the reader gasping for breath. With its singularly inventive and superbly shocking plot, Hope A Tragedy is a book that will make you laugh until your heart breaks.
