About this title

Synopsis

‘Chris Kraus reinvents the true-crime novel’The New Yorker‘A writer whose antennae are attuned to subtle connections and strange cross-currents’ Colm Tóibín‘This is Chris Kraus’s masterpiece’ Constance DebréAn unforgettable new novel from the author of the modern classic I Love Dick ― a witty, probing journey into a fractured America, culminating in the investigation of a teenage murder. On the Iron Range of northern Minnesota, at the end of the last decade, three teenagers shot and killed an older acquaintance after spending the day with him. In a cold, rundown town, the three young people were quickly arrested and imprisoned. No one knows why they did it. At the time of the murder, Catt Greene and her husband, Paul Garcia, are living nearby in a house they’d bought years earlier as a summer escape from Los Angeles. Undergoing a period of personal turmoil, moving between LA and Minnesota ― between the urban art world and the rural poverty of the icy Iron Range ― Catt turns away from her own life and towards the murder case, which soon becomes an obsession. In her attempt to pierce through the mystery surrounding the murder and to understand the teenagers’ lives, Catt also finds herself travelling back through the idiosyncratic, aspirational lives of her parents in the working-class Bronx and small-town, blue-collar Milford, Connecticut. Written in three linked parts, The Four Spent the Day Together explores the histories of three generations of American lives and the patterns that repeat over lifetimes, and is piercing commentary on the pressures of lives lived on the edge.
