Audio Book (CD). Condition: New. Product Description In the shadow of a looming flood that comes every one hundred years, Tee tries to convince himself that living in a new place will mean a new identity and a chance to shed the parallels between him and his adopted father. This beautiful and dreamlike story follows Tee, a twenty-two-year-old Korean-American, as he escapes to Prague in the wake of his uncles suicide and the aftermath of 9/11. His life intertwines with Pavel, a painter famous for revolution; Katka, his equally alluring wife; and Pavel's partner-a giant of a man with an American name. As the flood slowly makes its way into the old city, Tee contemplates his own place in life as both mixed and adopted and as an American in a strange land full of heroes, myths, and ghosts. In the tradition of Native Speaker and The Family Fang, the Good Men Projects Matthew Salesses weaves together the tangled threads of identity, love, growing up, and relationships in his stunning first novel, The Hundred-Year Flood. Review Salessess novel dramatically documents how longing can turn, painfully, into love. -The Millions, Most Anticipated 2015 Book Preview What carries us through the novel is Salessess gift for language: here is a meditative, poetic, modern fable crafted in haunting bursts of impressionistic prose. -Kirkus Reviews Through dreamlike language, Salesses toys with our human need to control forces that are larger than us: the flood, secrets, the past, disease, the inevitability of the reality one creates for ones self. The novel holds a meditative, reflective pace. -Kirkus Reviews, feature interview Salesses delivers an immersive novel about identity, myths, and ghosts.This is an engulfing read. -Publishers Weekly The novel is not only a well-rendered exploration of identity, pain, and love, but also an expertly paced story, incredibly engaging throughout. -Askmen.comThe Hundred-Year Flood is admirable for what it tackles, for the depth of its subject, for the risks it takes with structure, for the love triangle it quickly establishes and charges with tension, for the questions it raises about what we inherit from our parents, known or unknown, and how we ground ourselves when weve been living on top of lies and murky beginnings-on rising, threatening waters, you might say. -The Rumpus Tee is in Prague. He is running away from memory. He is running toward myth. He is searching. In Prague, Tee meets an artist and the artist's wife. Before long, the three are drawn into a fateful series of events as Prague is laid bare by a flood that only comes every hundred years. This beautiful debut novel by Matthew Salesses is much like that flood-epic and devastating and full of natural majesty. -Roxane Gay, author of Untamed State and Bad Feminist"The Hundred-Year Flood yanks you off your feet, whipping you along on a brilliantly crafted adventure. You cant fight the current and you dont want to, either. Matthew Salesses is a new force of nature. -Mat Johnson, author of Loving Day A filmic, fast-moving, disjunctive ride, The Hundred-Year Flood rollicks through an exquisitely constructed plot to arrive at a surprising destination. Matthew Salesses writes taut, intelligent, lyrical sentences. He is definitely a writer to watch, and The Hundred-Year Flood is the novel to read right this moment. -Robert Boswell, author of Tumbledown and The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards Matthew Salessess elegant debut is at once both minimalist and expansive, atmospheric yet grounded in vivid, astonishing details. The Hundred-Year Flood captures life distilled to its purest, most potent form. Ill be thinking about this story for many years to come. -Kirstin Chen, author of Soy Sauce for Beginners The Hundred-Year Flood spins the gorgeous and devastating tale of Tees quest to find his place in the world amidst the richly haunted landscape of Prague. This is a phenomenally engrossing novel, cast in prose that is at once searing and p.
