Named a Best Book of 2023 by The New York Times (incandescent...hilarious...a triumph) Oprah Daily (surreal absurd lucid and wise) Vanity Fair (Broder [is] a genius and a sorceress) and more! From the visionary author of Milk Fed and The Pisces a darkly funny novel about grief and a magical tale of survival (Publishers Weekly starred review). In Melissa Broder's astonishingly profound new novel a woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from an emptiness that plagues her. She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrow-for both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides however is not peace but a path discovered on a nearby hike. Out along the sun-scorched trail the narrator encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich hilarious and poignant. Death Valley is Melissa Broder at her most imaginative most universal and finest and is a journey unlike any you've read before (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah author of Friday Black).
