ReviewsA Publishers Weekly & Washington Post "Most Anticipated" A Vogue "Best Book of the Year" -- "So Far Gone is a marvel--a taut literary thriller that is also a moving, deeply humane exploration of the way one family falls apart and puts itself back together in a moment of crisis. Jess Walter is a prodigiously talented novelist, a writer willing to confront some of the most important and divisive issues of our time without losing his nerve or his sense of humor. " -- Tom Perrotta, New York Times bestselling author of The Leftovers "Jess Walter is beloved for being a prose wizard with a sparkling, infectious sense of humor and a huge heart. He makes readers love his characters even when they don't find themselves particularly loveable. So Far Gone speaks directly into the profoundly troubled soul of our fractured, embittered country; miraculously, it does so with gentle wryness and angry love. What a rollicking good time." -- Lauren Groff, New York Times bestselling author of Matrix "I loved this book, and marveled how Jess Walter managed to build such a warm, funny, loving novel out of so many horrible parts. It's an American original." -- Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake "A tumultuous road trip through a tumultuous America." -- Washington Post, Books to Watch for in 2025 "Propulsive...Walter serves up a rollicking and heartrending adventure about a broken man determined to set things right in an increasingly divided America....Walter offers an honest and even touching look at the [characters'] need for purpose while finding deadpan humor in their failings....This captivates." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The characters are created with loving care, the plot with reckless glee; Walter seems as fed up with various aspects of modern life as the smartphone-hating Rhys, and gives his version of the modern Northwest a distinctly Old West vibrational overlay....Walter is a beacon of wit, decency, and style." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "I've learned from Walter's superb stories and novels to follow him wherever he takes me." -- Publishers Weekly, "So Far Gone is a marvel--a taut literary thriller that is also a moving, deeply humane exploration of the way one family falls apart and puts itself back together in a moment of crisis.

SynopsisNational Bestseller "A warm, funny, loving novel. . . . It's an American original."--Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake "Who better to give us the latest version of a recluse with a heart of gold than Walter?... It's a gleeful, kooky and tender homage to Charles Portis' "True Grit" with echoes of Tom Robbins and yes, Elinor Lipman too." -- Los Angeles Times A Vogue "Best Book of the Year" * An Amazon "Best Book of the Year" * A Publishers Weekly "Most Anticipated" * A Washington Post "Most Anticipated" * An Oprah's Book Club "Best Summer Read" * An Esquire "Best Book of the Summer" * A Los Angeles Times "Must Read Book for the Summer" * A New York Times "Book to Read This Summer" * A Good Morning America "Kate and Charlies Ultimate Summer Read" * A CBS Sunday "New Summer Read * An NPR "Dark Tale to Hit the Shelves" * An Elle "Best Book of the Summer" * A Lit Hub "Must Read Book for the Summer" * A Chicago Tribune " Summer Book" * A Minnesota Star Tribune "Terrific Book for the Beach" * An Alta Magazine "Book of the Month" * A New York Times "New Book We Recommend" * A Lit Hub "Best Reviewed Book" * A NY Post "Best New Book" * A New York Times "Book Readers Are Most Excited About This Summer" * A Huffingting Post "Book that Should Be on Your Summer Reading List" * An Airmail "Best Read of the Week" * A Publishers Weekly Starred Review * A Kirkus Starred Review * A Library Journal Starred Review From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins --and in the propulsive spirit of Charles Portis' True Grit --comes a hilarious, empathetic, and brilliantly provocative adventure through life in modern America, about a reclusive journalist forced back into the world to rescue his kidnapped grandchildren. Rhys Kinnick has gone off the grid. At Thanksgiving a few years back, a fed-up Rhys punched his conspiracy-theorist son-in-law in the mouth, chucked his smartphone out a car window and fled for a cabin in the woods, with no one around except a pack of hungry raccoons. Now Kinnick's old life is about to land right back on his crumbling doorstep. Can this failed husband and father, a man with no internet and a car that barely runs, reemerge into a broken world to track down his missing daughter and save his sweet, precocious grandchildren from the members of a dangerous militia? With the help of his caustic ex-girlfriend, a bipolar retired detective, and his only friend (who happens to be furious with him), Kinnick heads off on a wild journey through cultural lunacy and the rubble of a life he thought he'd left behind. So Far Gone is a rollicking, razor-sharp, and moving road trip through a fractured nation, from a writer who has been called "a genius of the modern American moment" ( Philadelphia Inquirer )., "As talented a natural storyteller as is working in American fiction."--Washington Post From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins--and in the wild, propulsive spirit of Charles Portis' True Grit--comes a hilarious and brilliantly provocative adventure through life in modern America, about a reclusive journalist forced back into the world to rescue his kidnapped grandchildren. A few weeks after the 2016 election, at Thanksgiving with his daughter's family, Rhys Kinnick snapped. After an escalating fight about politics, he hauled off and punched his conspiracy theorist son-in-law. Horrified by what he'd done, by the state of the country and by his own spiraling mental health, Rhys chucked his smartphone out a car window and fled for a cabin in the woods, off the grid and with no one around--except a pack of hungry raccoons. Now, seven years later, Kinnick's old life is about to land right back on his crumbling doorstep. Can this failed husband and father, a man with no phone, no computer, and a car that barely runs, reemerge into a broken world to track down his missing daughter and save his sweet, precocious grandchildren from the members of a dangerous militia With the help of his caustic ex-girlfriend, a bipolar retired detective, and his only friend (who happens to be furious with him), Kinnick heads off on a madcap journey through cultural lunacy and the rubble of a life he thought he'd left behind. So Far Gone is a rollicking, razor-sharp, and ultimately moving road trip through a fractured nation, from a writer who has been called "a genius of the modern American moment" (Philadelphia Inquirer).
