ADVANCE PRAISE FOR DEATH VALLEY "A journey unlike any you've read before. Death Valley is a beautifully wild leap into the mysterious desert that is grief." -- Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Chain-Gang All-Stars and Friday Black "I've never read a novel that portrays grief quite like Death Valley . Melissa Broder captures both the punishing ordinariness of loss while also showing us how extraordinary it is to have been here at all. There is deep wisdom in these pages." -- Mary Beth Keane, author of Ask Again, Yes and The Half Moon, "Incandescent . . . ecstatically awake to the world's astonishments. . . . Death Valley is a triumph, a ribald prayer for sensuality and grace in the face of profound loss, a hilarious revolt against the aggressive godlessness, dehumanization and fear plaguing our time. All ten of Melissa Broder's finger lamps are blazing. Why not be totally changed into fire?" -- Claire Vaye Watkins, The New York Times Book Review "Extremely funny and deeply felt." -- People "One of the best books I've read in years: funny, brilliant, gutting, and easily devoured over the course of one blissful afternoon." -- Elle "A witty, psychedelic exploration of grief. . . riotously funny." -- Guardian "A surrealist story about anticipatory grief that is as wryly funny as it is moving. Broder curls moments of devastation softly towards moments of the mundane. . . . Broder's third novel is a propulsive, semi-meta journey of an author balancing the sorrow of a sick husband and a father in the ICU with a looming novel deadline . . . unforgettable."-- NYLON "Broder takes her absurdist humor to new heights as she spins a surrealist tale of emptiness, exploration and existential crisis in the California desert." -- W Magazine , Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2023 "Broder's own gift is for scenes and dialogue that are so natural -- in that they reflect the ridiculousness and surrealism of real life -- that they tip over into the uncanny. She is also very funny." -- The Los Angeles Times, "Incandescent . . . ecstatically awake to the world's astonishments. . . . Death Valley is a triumph, a ribald prayer for sensuality and grace in the face of profound loss, a hilarious revolt against the aggressive godlessness, dehumanization and fear plaguing our time. All ten of Melissa Broder's finger lamps are blazing.

She is also very funny." -- The Los Angeles Times, "Bursting with jokes, abounding with existential crisis, Broder again puts forward her absurdist, provocative philosophy." -- Bustle , Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2023 "A riotous victory . . . Broder has illuminated a tale of grief and loss with her characteristic wit and insight. The result is as dazzlingly brilliant as a desert sunset." -- Pop Matters "Grab a tall glass of water before cracking open this surreal, darkly funny novel. . . . You'll find yourself mesmerized by the story as much as the deeper lessons beneath it."-- Good Housekeeping, "An exhilarating med­itation on death, life, survival and how we rely on stories to get us through it all. It's a triumph for Broder." -- Book Page (starred review), "Quirky and captivating . . . [an] existential, erotic, and treacherously real journey of self-discovery and resilience in the wake of 'pending' grief. . . . Broder paints this hilarious fever dream, while still conveying a stark, tangible sense of what it means to be alive." -- Condé Nast Traveler "A profound look at caregiving and grief, but it also manages to be a very funny, quick, and engaging read. Don't miss it." -- theSkimm "Broder is a comedic writer, a poet averse to stale language and an online personality tirelessly manning a churn of new quips on the familiar subject of sadness." -- Washington Post "Think the Chronicles of Narnia , but instead of a wardrobe, it's a cactus." -- Cosmopolitan "Funny, frank and life-affirming." -- Daily Mail "Vividly relatable. . . . a psychological portrait of a woman trying to come to terms with the terrifying co-existence of life and death." -- Telegraph (UK) " Death Valley is one of the funniest, most tender stories I've read about improbable cacti, dying fathers, and desert survival skills . . . a nuanced and authentic portrayal of grief." -- Locus Magazine "There is nothing obvious about Broder's searching, or the tenderness she visits on characters who fail to save those they love from pain and death." -- Annie Liontas, Electric Literature
Synopsis
Named a Best Book of 2023 by The New York Times ("incandescent...hilarious...a triumph"), Oprah Daily ("surreal, absurd, lucid, and wise"), Vanity Fair ("Broder [is] a genius and a sorceress"), and more! From the visionary author of Milk Fed and The Pisces , a darkly funny novel about grief and a "magical tale of survival" ( Publishers Weekly , starred review). In Melissa Broder's astonishingly profound new novel, a woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from an emptiness that plagues her. She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrow--for both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path discovered on a nearby hike. Out along the sun-scorched trail, the narrator encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there, with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious, and poignant. Death Valley is Melissa Broder at her most imaginative, most universal, and finest, and is "a journey unlike any you've read before" (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of Friday Black ).

    Used book as described, packed well for shipping and shipped promptly. Seller went the absolute distance in describing this used book. I particularly wanted this edition. From the photos and description of this item for sale, I was certain I would receive exactly what I was expecting and paid for. If I could give more than 5 Stars I would. Definitely would buy from this Seller again.

    The Sunbeam mixer arrived today. You did such a great packing job that everything arrived safe and sound. The mixer is just like the one my cousin had that always said I should have been her child. She passed away in 2000. It proves to be of great value due to it still runs after all the years. Thanks.
