“Heft is a work that radiantly combines compassion and a clear eyed vision. This is a novel of rare originality and sophistication.”Mary Gordon author of Pearl
“It’s
rare for a novel to tread so fearlessly into the political and yet to
emerge so deeply funny and humane. Gilvarry is a young talent on the
rise. Watch him gallop through the mess we’ve made of our civilization
with style and panache.”Gary Shtenygart, author of Super Sad True Love Story
