Paperback. Condition: Fair. "A brilliant book. Karim Issar is one of the freshest, funniest heroes I've come across in a long time." -- Ben Fountain, bestselling author of Brief Encounters with Che Guevara "An innovative and incisive meditation on the wages of corporate greed, the fundamental darkness of its vision lit by the author's great comic intelligence and wit." -- Kathryn Davis, author of The Thin Place, Hell: A Novel, and Versailles With a fresh and singular voice, Teddy Wayne marks his literary debut with the story of one 26 year old Middle Eastern man's attempt to live the American Dream in New York City. Like the award-winning Netherland and The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Kapitoil provides an absorbing look into American culture and New York finance from an outsider's perspective. "Sometimes you do not truly observe something until you study it in reverse," writes Karim Issar upon arrival to New York City from Qatar in 1999. Fluent in numbers, logic, and business jargon yet often baffled by human connection, the young financial wizard soon creates a computer program named Kapitoil that predicts oil futures and reaps record profits for his company. At first an introspective loner adrift in New York's social scenes, he anchors himself to his legendary boss Derek Schrub and Rebecca, a sensitive, disillusioned colleague who may understand him better than he does himself. Her influence, and his father's disapproval of Karim's Americanization, cause him to question the moral implications of Kapitoil, moving him toward a decision that will determine his future, his firm's, and to whom--and where--his loyalties lie.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. A New York Times Editors Choice Longlisted for the 2020 Simpson / Joyce Carol Oates Literary Prize One of Vogue.com's "Best Books of 2020 So Far" One of Elle's "Best Books of 2020 So Far" Named A Most-Anticipated Book by The New York Times, Vogue, The Boston Globe, Salon, The Millions, Inside Hook, and Vol. 1 Brooklyn In 1996, the unnamed narrator of Teddy Wayne's Apartment is attending the MFA writing program at Columbia on his father's dime and living in an illegal sublet of a rent-stabilized apartment. Feeling guilty about his good fortune, he offers his spare bedroom--rent-free--to Billy, a talented, charismatic classmate from the Midwest eking out a hand-to-mouth existence in Manhattan. The narrator's rapport with Billy develops into the friendship he's never had due to a lifetime of holding people at arm's length, hovering at the periphery, feeling "fundamentally defective." But their living arrangement, not to mention their radically different upbringings, breeds tensions neither man could predict. Interrogating the origins of our contemporary political divide and its ties to masculinity and class, Apartment is a gutting portrait of one of New York's many lost, disconnected souls by a writer with an uncommon aptitude for embodying them. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. One of the most critically acclaimed books of the year, Teddy Wayne's second novel is a scathing and brilliant novel about celebrity culture, told through the voice of an eleven-year-old pop singer and megastar--an enduring yet timely portrait of the American dream gone awry. "More than a scabrous sendup of American celebrity culture; it's also a poignant portrait of one young artist's coming of age." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times With "assured prose and captivating storytelling" (Oprah.com's Book of the Week), The Love Song of Jonny Valentine also showcases "one of the most complicated portrayals of the mother-son relationship since Room" (BookPage). Touring the country in a desperate attempt to save a career he's not sure he even wants, Jonny is both driven by his mother's ambition and haunted by his father's absence, constantly searching for a familiar face among the crowds. Utterly convincing, whip-smart, yet endearingly vulnerable, with an "unforgettable" voice (Publishers Weekly, starred review), the eleven-year-old pop megastar sounds "like Holden Caulfield Jr. adrift in Access Hollywood hell" (Rolling Stone). Called "a showstopper" (The Boston Globe), "hugely entertaining" (The Washington Post), "heartbreakingly convincing" (People), "buoyant, smart, searing" (Entertainment Weekly), and "touching and unexpectedly suspenseful" (The Wall Street Journal), this extraordinary novel has been widely embraced as a literary masterpiece and the rare "satire with a heart" (Library Journal, starred review).…
