From the award-winning author of Bubblegum and The Instructions, a daring new novel about the absurdity, the humor, and the tragedy of survivorship.

"Adam Levin is one of our wildest writers and our funniest." –George Saunders, bestselling, award-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo

A one-in-ten-billion natural disaster devastates Chicago. A Jewish comedian, his most devoted fan, and the city’s mayor must struggle to move forward while the world—quite literally—caves beneath their feet. With this polyphonic tale of Chicago-style politics and political correctness, stand-up comedy and Jewish identity, celebrity, drugs, and animal psychology, Levin has constructed a monument to laughter, love, art, and resilience in an age of spectacular loss.

Really great reading holds it together. The story is 70% tangent and 10% story. Loved most of it

Very entertaining

This would be a much much better book if it was 3/4 as long. Needs editing for the audible version. Since I listen to it in the car I was sort of stuck with listening to more than I wanted to.

Too Long

At times extremely funny, like laugh out loud funny, at times a little too explain-y and a bit of a chore.

Funny, annoying

This performance was amazing. Voices were distinct enough to make an easy listen, and impressions were enough to to track with e.g. "The chicago way of saying" words, but not too distracting. Honestly, I'll be looking for more by this narrator.

I really liked this story. It won't be for everyone, but you might, like me, really like it. The prose is nice, conversational, and vital in a refreshing way.

It's really bothering me that people are saying "it's too long/boring" instead of "I lost attention." It's ok to lose attention, in fact it's important to not get engossed by the texture of your bedroom walls every morning. Sometimes my bedroom walls look like a rich, textural universe-in-itself and most mornings I take that geography entirely for granted. This is not the fault of my wall texture.

Interjections are a literary technique
