Demon Copperhead Intl - English Edition

WINNER OF THE 2023 PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION WINNER OF THE UK'S 2023 WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION An Oprah's Book Club Selection From the New York Times bestselling author of Unsheltered and Flight Behavior, a brilliant novel which enthralls, compels, and captures the heart as it evokes a young hero's unforgettable journey to maturity. "Demon is a voice for the ages - akin to Huck Finn or Holden Caulfield - only even more resilient. I'm crazy about this book, which parses the epidemic in a beautiful and intimate new way. I think it's her best." - Beth Macy, author of Dopesick "An Appalachian David Copperfield. . . . Demon Copperhead reimagines Dickens's story in a modern-day rural America contending with poverty and opioid addiction. . . . Like Dickens, she is unblushingly political and works on a sprawling scale...Episode by episode she persuasively conveys the mind of a teenage boy. . . . It's hard to think of another living novelist who could take a stab at Dickens and rise above the level of catastrophe." - New York Times
