Fallow

Reviews / Votes

Fallow sits smartly at the axis of corporate markets and motherhood. It joins a literary tradition of women discovering who they are while their bodies evolve in astounding ways. What a joy to be in Natalie's head-a young woman who hates to work but doesn't shy away from labor. Fallow is a delightfully sharp, dynamic debut -- Kiley Reid Fallow is a spectacular debut: hilarious, sly, sharp, and extraordinarily thoughtful about the knotty philosophical issues that arise where capitalism and the body meet. Sarah Anderson is a dazzling new talent -- Lauren Groff Unputdownable... Fallow speaks directly to these mixed-up times. I loved this novel. It sings in so many registers and with so much heart. Sarah Anderson is a major new talent -- Julie Buntin Fallow is a sly marvel of a novel: a witty, vivacious page-turner that doubles as a wry critique of capitalism, corporate culture, and reproductive politics. Sarah Anderson's debut - a kind of gonzo Handmaid's Tale-is simply dazzling in its audacity and invention -- Peter Ho Davies Sarah Anderson's imaginative debut posits a world in which the corporate has almost wholly consumed the human. So disturbingly plausible it can scarcely be considered satire, Fallow is a very funny book about work and ambition, the faltering systems that dictate much of contemporary life, and the possibility of another way forward -- Rumaan Alam
