Zou Lei, an ethnic Uyghur woman from Western China working illegally for meager pay while living in a plywood cubicle in a Chinatown tenement, and Skinner, a dented-can Iraq war vet scarred by a traumatic brain injury and PTSD sustained during his stop-lossed second tour, spending his savings on takeout, cigarettes, and alcohol, and taking tranquilizers to get him to sleep. Meeting by chance and bonding over a shared interest in exercise, Skinner and Zou Lei attempt to scrape out a corner of security in the margins of America. The book, out this month, is in turn affecting and devastating-it revels in this utterly unlikely relationship with stark clarity and a deep, unflinching empathy.

"Perhaps the finest and most unsentimental love story of the new decade." -The New York Times

"Preparation for the Next Life is dizzying in its ambition and exhilarating in its triumph." -The New York Times Book Review

"As bold and urgent a love story as you'll read this year." -Wall Street Journal

"Preparation for the Next Life, by Atticus Lish, is an astounding first novel about a world so large there is, sometimes, nowhere to go; a world so small the people in it, sometimes, get lost. The book has the boundless, epic exhilaration you expect to find only in a writer as mighty as, say, Walt Whitman." -The New York Review of Books

"Lovely and soft, tragic and cutting . . . maybe the most surprising novel of the year, for the author's sudden, astounding appearance on the scene, yes, but more for the temporal details matched succeeded by glowing tenderness." -Vanity Fair

"A sledgehammer to the American dream." -Kirkus Reviews

"One of the most acclaimed debut novelists of the year." -New York Observer

"This novel is nothing less than a triumph, worthy of every heroic adjective a critic could throw. It is a reminder, plain and simple, of what fiction is for." -Financial Times

"Atticus Lish writes with beauty, striking attention to detail, and painful honesty about life on the margins of America - about the people we don't see, the places we don't go." -BuzzFeed

"Not since Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain have such arduously yearning treks been made through maddening, heartbreaking obstructions in the name of love." - New York Journal of Books

"In the twenty-first-century United States, oppression is disorganized, random and proceeds largely through neglect. Still, it crushes plenty of people. The wretched of the earth are here among us, for the most part silenced-but with this novel, Lish has given them an unmistakable voice." -The Nation

"Preparation for the Next Life isn't just the best novel I've read this year, it may be be the best novel I've read, ever. I've seen the book appearing on quite a few "best of" lists recently-well deserved. And I am now a believer: this book should be in the conversation for a national prize." -Publishers Weekly, Best of 2014
