LONGLISTED FOR THE FT AND GOLDMAN SACHS BOOK AWARDS
Doug Fanning lives an apparently gilded existence. A Gulf war veteran turned banker at the vast investment bank Union Atlantic, he is wealthy, handsome and powerful - the epitome of Wall Street success.
Charlotte Graves lives in self-imposed exile deep in the forests of rural Massachusetts, stubbornly refusing to engage with a country she feels to be in morally bankrupt. When Fanning decides to build himself a sprawling mansion adjacent to her home, her isolation is threatened and she determines to evict him from his land and, if she can, his kind from her country.
Union Atlantic is a deeply involving novel of the modern world - a world in crisis, where individual humanity is pitted against the global marketplace, and we must decide what, in the end, we value most highly.
Reviews / Votes
'This is the rare novel that is both urgently of its time and fully true to itself. Adam Haslett saw it all coming: our particular moment, our particular crisis. And because he was so far ahead of our leaders and our opinion-makers - because he is a true writer - he could take the time to fashion a book of exceptional maturity, completeness, compassion, comedy and suspense. It's been a long time since we've seen an American novelist reach for so much and achieve so much of what he's reached for.'Jonathan Franzen'Adam Haslett has the rarest of talents: the ability to combine a powerful intelligence with storytelling that is both elegant and suspenseful, and to break your heart in the process. Union Atlantic is a masterful portrait of our age.' Malcolm Gladwell
'The first great novel of the new century. It's big and ambitious, like novels used to be. It's about us, now. All of us.' Esquire
'Absolutely brilliant.' Kate Atkinson
Praise for You Are Not A Stranger Here:
'Adam Haslett arrives from out of nowhere sounding like a master.' Jay McInerney
'A brilliant beginning to a literary career.' Barry Unsworth
'Spectacular... The herald of a phenomenal career.' * New York Times *
