A surprising new novel from the creator of A Children’s Bible, a National Book Award finalist and one of many New York Times’ 10 Best Books of 2020.
Over twelve novels and two collections Lydia Millet has emerged as a significant American novelist. Hailed as “a writer without limits” (Karen Russell) and “a stone-cold genius” (Jenny Offill), Millet makes fiction that vividly evokes the ties between individuals and different animals and the disaster of extinction.
Her beautiful new novel is the story of a person named Gil who walks from New York to Arizona to recuperate from a failed love. After he arrives, new neighbors transfer into the glass-walled home subsequent door and his life begins to mesh with theirs. In this warmly textured, drily humorous, and philosophical account of Gil’s surprising devotion to the household, Millet explores the uncanny territory the place the self ends and neighborhood begins—what one particular person can do in a world beset by emergencies.
Dinosaurs is each sharp-edged and tender, an emotionally transferring, intellectually resonant novel that asks: In the shadow of existential menace, the place does hope dwell?
