‘Alexandra Kleeman expertly conjures California noir filtered through the ambient and not-so-ambient apocalypse’ Emma Cline, author of The Girls
‘Written with tremendous verve and flair, Something New Under the Sun is both an urgent novel about our very near future and a deeply addictive pleasure. Constantly surprising and endlessly inventive, every page is saturated with wit, intelligence, and extraordinary prose. Kleeman is a phenomenon, one of the most brilliant and gifted writers at work today’ Katie Kitamura, author of A Separation
 
‘With this novel, Alexandra Kleeman confirms her place as one of the major writers of her generation. Reading it is like looking at a familiar room through warped glass: What you perceive is distorted and unsettling while remaining curiously beautiful’ Esmé Weijun Wang, author of The Collected Schizophrenias
 
‘A richly rendered ecological novel, characterized not only by how it sets the landscape but also by the fact that the landscape is quite often allowed to run the show. Kleeman is phenomenal when it comes to place writing. Like many of the characters in her book, I got lost inside her scene-setting, arid and wild, happy to let her drive me wherever her genius brain thought we should go. This is a book I’ll be thinking about for years to come’ Kristen Arnett, author of With Teeth
‘An immense achievement. A masterful and merciless skewering of our times, rendered with such grace I couldn't put it down’ Olivia Sudjic, author of Asylum Road
‘…Kleeman is a writer working with far more flair than most. Her novels critique the comfortable indifference of life under late capitalism and, as such, are quite the opposite: observant, unnerving and bold’ i Newspaper
‘Profoundly affecting –somehow both funny and deeply unsettling’ Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind
