'Heady and rambunctious Wake up, this book says: in its plot lines, in its humour, in its philosophical underpinnings and political agenda. I'll pay it the highest compliment it knows this book is a wild thing.' New York Times Book Review
Interlaken, Berne, 21st century. Several things happen after the car hits the rock. Tiff ceases to be pregnant. Stephen captures, like, the most wonderful bird fleet, stealthy, and beautiful a real "lifer". And the wallcreeper, the wallcreeper says "twee".
The Wallcreeper is nothing more than a portrait of marriage, complete with all its requisite highs and lows: drugs, dubstep, small chores, anal sex, eco-terrorism, birding, breeding and feeding.
Nell Zink's The Wallcreeper is a humorous satire that has earned its place among the best in literary fiction. This top-rated book offers a unique and insightful exploration of marriage in the modern world.
For fans of Ottessa Moshfegh (Lapvona), Elizabeth Strout (Lucy by the Sea), Ruth L. Ozeki (A Tale for the Time Being), Ian Mcewan (Lessons), and Deborah Levy (August Blue).
