THE NIX: A Novel A hilarious and deeply touching debut novel about a son, the mother who left him as a child, and how his search to uncover the secrets of her life leads him to reclaim his own. The writing is amazing, it reminded me of when I first read The World According to Garp. And the book has a six-page sentence . . . how could you not check it out? 978-1-101-94661-9 | $27.95/$36.95C | 100,000 | Knopf | HC | August e 978-1-101-94662-6 | ] AD: 978-0-14-752329-7 | ] CD: 978-0-14-752328-0 LITERARY FICTION/DEBUT

A Novel
Technically the top staff pick for our ENTIRE department, this is a brilliantly mind-bending science-fiction thriller in which an ordinary man is kidnapped, knocked unconscious—and awakens in a world inexplicably different from the reality he thought he knew. Perfect for book clubs with its thoughtprovoking theme of what happens when we make one choice over another. And my favorite part was the heart wrenching struggle of our everyman hero, Jason, to return to his beloved wife and son. From the author of the bestselling Wayward Pines trilogy, this will be one of the most buzzed about books of the season!
