The Audacity (2024)
Ryan Chapman
"Ryan Chapman cavorts amidst the twisted wreckage of our zeitgeist like it's his own rollicking funhouse. The Audacity is a tragicomic thrill ride that tips a trick-filled hat to postmodernists past as it delivers its devastating cultural critique. The smartest, most enjoyable novel I've read all year."
