Sprawl by Danielle Dutton
Dutton's mini-masterpiece—a womanly treatise on suburban decay and fatigued love—is a triumph! Every sentence should be celebrated for its hilarity, rigor, eccentricity, and passion.
-Deb Olin Unferth, author of Vacation

An absurdly comic and decidedly digressive novel, S P R A W L chronicles the mercurial inner life of one suburban woman. As the abundance and debris accumulate, the sameness of suburbia gives way to enthralling strangeness.
