Reviews"David Duchovny's Miss Subways is a marvelous, riveting novel on the mystical nature of love. In it, a scarred, unlikely girl becomes a teacher in all meanings of the word. You want to cheer when she takes charge of her destiny. Unputdownable!" --Mary Karr " Miss Subways is a charming and wildly inventive comic novel--fantastical and sardonic; rich in myth, literature, philosophy and satire. David Duchovny has such love for his title character and for her New York that the affection fairly rumbles beneath the book's riotous surface."--Jess Walter, author of Beautiful Ruins, Praise for Bucky F*cking Dent "Hilarious and deeply touching . . . Not a baseball book any more than Field of Dreams is a baseball book, this moving, beautiful novel resonates with laughter and tears throughout." -Don Oldenburg, USA Today "Duchovny has hit this one out of the park . . . He does a terrific job of blending quirky and emotional writing." - The Associated Press "Duchovny's hilarious new novel hits a home run . . . As fast as it is entertaining . . . Duchovny has a place in the lineup, kind of like a light-hitting shortstop who shines in key moments." -Micah Pollack, The Washington Post Praise for Holy Cow "[Duchovny's] zany, madcap first novel, Holy Cow . . . is a seriously entertaining fable that doesn't take itself too seriously . . . Duchovny is a witty writer, and he's especially good at conjuring these oddball voices." -John Wilwol, The Washington Post "Who knew a cow's view of the world was so funny yet so honest and true? Holy Cow is silly and fun from the opening page." -Jeff Ayers, The Denver Post

SynopsisNew York Times bestselling author David Duchovny reimagines the Irish mythological figure of Emer in Miss Subways , a darkly comic fantasy love story set in New York City. Emer is just a woman living in New York City who takes the subway, buys ice cream from the bodega on the corner, has writerly aspirations, and lives with her boyfriend, Con. But is this life she lives the only path she's on? Taking inspiration from the myth of Emer and Cuchulain and featuring an all-star cast of mythical figures from all over the world, David Duchovny's darkly funny fantasy novel Miss Subways is one woman's trippy, mystical journey down parallel tracks of time and love. On the way, Emer will battle natural and supernatural forces to find her true voice, power, and destiny. A fairy tale of love lost and regained, Miss Subways is also a love letter to the city that enchants us all: New York. Fresh off a new season of the evergreen X-Files and a late-blooming music career, the multitalented Duchovny ( Bucky F*cking Dent , 2016, etc.) offers a spooky domestic drama that is equal parts Nick Hornby and Neil Gaiman... An entertaining, postmodern fairy tale that tests the boundaries of love and fate. - Kirkus Reviews, New York Times bestselling author David Duchovny reimagines the Irish mythological figure of Emer in Miss Subways , a darkly comic fantasy love story set in New York City.
