Dinosaurs: A Novel

"Here’s a unicorn: a literary novel that addresses urgent social issues – climate change, economic inequality, hatred – that won’t make you give up what hope you have left. Lydia Millet’s beautiful novel follows an unhappy oil heir who moves from New York to Phoenix, befriends the family living next door and tries to figure out how to do good in the world. Millet is no Pollyanna; she knows how urgent our present problems are. But this novel emphasizes hope, making it a welcome tonic for our … interesting times."
