THE ATMOSPHERIANS by Alex McElroy
Alex McElroy’s debut novel THE ATMOSPHERIANS received a great review from the Washington Post. They call the book “a sharp-edged view of how contemporary gender politics have changed culture,” offering “trenchant commentary on our society’s fraught gender dynamics.” Vanity Fair also listed the novel on its recommended reads for May, raving: “The novel balances perfectly on the razor’s edge between reality and absurdism, the place where excellent satire dwells, while spinning a complex investigation of huge topics: guilt, culpability, loyalty, sexism, fatphobia, abuse of power…. It is a book about craving—fame, food, praise, each other, ourselves—and it is a book to be devoured.” Atria Books published the novel on May 18, 2021.
