Synopsis
Ben Arkin, patriarch of the family, is an artist who has never sold a piece. His children, Sondra, Doris, and Oliver run a record label that has never produced a hit, and that Ben and his wife have bankrolled. When Doris strikes out to form her own label, Sondra sues the entire Arkin family, setting about a series of events that ultimately lead to their demise. The story is told primarily from the perspective of Oliver’s daughter, Rebecca, an attorney who might be the only redeeming member of the Arkin family. Rebecca attempts to keep the family from collapsing, while trying desperately to extricate herself from their grasp.

Review
"...Ark is an engaging novel, and an insightful take on just how easy it can be to slip from the upper class." The New York Times
"A novel about death, greed, family rivalry, and art, with Ark, Julian Tepper emerges as a modern hybrid of Philip Roth and Saul Bellow." -Philipp Meyer, New York Times Best-Selling author of the Son and American Rust
"King Lear via Philip Roth. Julian Tepper writes wonderfully about all his conflicted characters." -Teddy Wayne, author of the Love Song of Jonny Valentine and the Loner
"With Ark, Tepper continues to cast his wonderfully cold eye and yet warm heart to the world that is wealthy New York." Paula Bomber, author of Inside Madeleine
"Ark is downright brilliant."
--The Lit Pub
