This past Wednesday, we celebrated the launch of FAIL SONS by Adam Wilson (@whatsimportantiseating) at @booksaremagicbk 🎉

A “Best New Books of Fall” selection by Men’s Journal, this darkly comic and heartfelt novel, about a pair of estranged brothers driving their father’s cryonically frozen body across the country to its final resting place, is a sharp depiction of masculinity, grief, and the ways we carry the dead—and each other—across dividing lines.

Adam was in conversation with critically acclaimed novelist Erin Somers (THE TEN YEAR AFFAIR) and award-winning writer Daniel Kolitz. Replay their conversation at youtube.com/@BooksAreMagic by @soho_press

@jasperfforde visited the Soho Press offices in New York City yesterday to sign copies of his LAST Thursday Next novel, DARK READING MATTER (on sale now), and some very special risograph-printed posters (did you know Haddock Is Making a Comeback? 👀) before his event at @mysteriousbookshop.

The North American exclusive hardcover edition is jam-packed with gorgeous original illustrations, full color endpapers, many chapter thirteens, a trove of footnotes, enough font faces (we stopped counting at eleven) and esoteric typesets to drive the average art department to the brink of madness, and all the wit and warmth readers have come to expect from this incredible series that started over 25 years ago with THE EYRE AFFAIR. by @soho_press

Introducing Backstories: Conversations with Authors! 🎙🎧 📖

Backstories is a new podcast from Soho Press where we invite writers to share the stories behind their books.

It's FAIL SONS day! 🗺️🚚✨

“Hilarious and humane . . . Adam Wilson is so funny and readable that the depth of his work almost sneaks up on you. FAIL SONS weighs prolonged adolescence against true adulthood, in a road trip novel that begins in cynicism and ends in tenderness. It actually made me hopeful for men.”—Erin Somers, author of 'The Ten Year Affair'

A pair of estranged brothers drive their father’s cryonically frozen body across a divided America to its final resting place in this darkly comic novel about masculinity and grief—a 21st century update of 'As I Lay Dying'—from the author of 'Flatscreen'.

When Scott Platt’s brother, Nick, calls to ask him to fly to Arizona and retrieve their father’s body from the Cryo Center where it’s been frozen since the nineties, the timing couldn’t be worse: He’s forty, unemployed, and spiraling as he and his wife await the birth of their first child. Nick’s as tightly wound as Scott is adrift, and the brothers have never gotten along. But the Cryo Center’s shutting down, and they’ve got six days to haul their father’s frozen body to a new facility in Massachusetts—without letting it thaw past –109°. And Scott needs to get back home to New York before his wife goes into labor.

It’s the summer of 2022. The country’s still reeling from the pandemic. And driving a corpse cross-country in a U-Haul through Red State America proves predictably chaotic. Nick insists on wearing a KN95 the entire time. They pass through deserts, mountains, and plains, encountering Aryan cops, ex-Mormon hitchhikers, a Gen Z commune, and MAGA-hat-wearing Walmart clerks. They play blackjack, take shrooms, and swim under the stars—all while trying to keep the body frozen and their relationship from melting down.

FAIL SONS is a brilliant exploration of masculinity, grief, and the ways we carry the dead—and each other—across a divided America.

Available now wherever books are sold. by @soho_press

The North American exclusive hardcover edition is jam-packed with gorgeous original illustrations, full color endpapers, many chapter thirteens, a trove of footnotes, enough font faces (we stopped counting at eleven) and esoteric typesets to drive the average art department to the brink of madness, and all the wit and warmth readers have come to expect from this incredible series.
