Product Details

“The Long Corner is a riveting read by an abundantly talented writer and storyteller.”—Scott Burton, The Los Angele Review of Books

“Eerie and moving...compelling…An argument for the necessity of irony, risk and integrity in the production of art as in life."—Will Stephenson, The New York Times Books Review

“An enigmatic literary top that continues to spin after the last page…A triumph of sophisticated art.”—Steven Kellman, Forward Reviews

“Scathing satire…readers will revel in the riotous upending of a self-absorbed personality.”—Publishers Weekly

It is early 2017 in New York City, Donald Trump is President, and Solomon Fields, a young Jewish journalist-turned-advertising hack, finds himself disillusioned by the hollowness and conformity of American life and language. Once brimming with dreams and ideals instilled in him by his eternally bohemian grandmother, a survivor of the Holocaust who has dedicated her life to passion and pleasure, Sol now finds the senseless jargon he produces at work seeping into all aspects of the world around him.

Personal tragedy drives Sol to leave New York and accept an invitation to The Coded Garden, a strange artists’ colony whose mysterious patron, Sebastian Light, seems to offer the very escape Sol desperately needs. But the longer he remains in the Garden, the more lines begin to blur—between reality and performance, sincerity and manipulation, art and life, beauty and emptiness—until Sol finds that he must question his past, his convictions, and his very sanity.

“Alexander Maksik is a sorcerer of the first order."—Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies
