Klappentext zu „The Nix “
'The best thing a reviewer can do when faced with a novel of this calibre and breadth is to urge you to read it for yourselves . . . Hill's talents as a writer are so abundant . . . The Nix is ra novel about growing up . . . about the two childhoods of mother and son, about coming of age, awkward friendships and first loves, about the loneliness of intelligence, about loss and mishandled relationships' Guardian'This superb debut novel could well be the most ambitious novel of the year . . . [The Nix] touches on the 2008 financial crash, the Occupy protests, the 1968 Chicago riots, academic life, small-town life, fad diets, pointless apps - and much else [in] an original, funny and affecting story . . . [It] seems like Hill is a writer who can do pretty much what he wants' Daily Telegraph
'Reading The Nix - all 620 pages of it - is an experience of complete unadulterated pleasure . . . An admirably accomplished novel' Independent

Impressive that a debutant, Nathan Hill, with his scintillating The Nix has given us a character who comes close to out-Trumping Trump . . . Just one of the many pleasures of this engaging story of a mother and son whose private travails become front-page news. New Year Highlights Observer
