SynopsisOne of NPR's Books We Love for 2022 * A New Yorker Best Books of 2022 So Far * A Publishers Weekly Best Novel of 2022 * A Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2022 * One of Time's 100 Must-Read Books of 2022 * An Oprah Daily and Literary Hub Favorite Book of 2022 * A BookBrowse Top 20 Best Books of 2022 A stunning new novel from the author of A Children's Bible, a National Book Award finalist and one of the New York Times' 10 Best Books of 2020., Over twelve novels and two collections Lydia Millet has emerged as a major American novelist. Hailed as "a writer without limits" (Karen Russell) and "a stone-cold genius" (Jenny Offill), Millet makes fiction that vividly evokes the ties between people and other animals and the crisis of extinction. Her exquisite new novel is the story of a man named Gil who walks from New York to Arizona to recover from a failed love. After he arrives, new neighbors move into the glass-walled house next door and his life begins to mesh with theirs. In this warmly textured, drily funny, and philosophical account of Gil's unexpected devotion to the family, Millet explores the uncanny territory where the self ends and community begins--what one person can do in a world beset by emergencies. Dinosaurs is both sharp-edged and tender, an emotionally moving, intellectually resonant novel that asks: In the shadow of existential threat, where does hope live?, One of Time's 100 Must-Read Books of 2022 A Publishers Weekly Best Novel of 2022 A Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2022 A stunning new novel from the author of A Children's Bible, a National Book Award finalist and one of the New York Times' 10 Best Books of 2020.
