10:04

"Ben Lerner (Leaving the Atocha Station) is known for writing fiction that defies categories; he continues to defy — and fascinate — in this latest novel, 10:04. Bookended by two historic hurricanes that threatened New York City (Hurricane Irene and Hurricane Sandy) 10:04 projects our narrator into plotlines that feature a dire medical diagnosis as well as the joy of impending fatherhood with a woman who’s a close friend. Lerner’s dazzling writing connects and collapses these and other storylines into a rich and strange novel of ideas."

"Ben Lerner's exquisite "10:04," which I've somehow only just come to."
