Alex McElroy’s debut novel, THE ATMOSPHERIANS, launched this week to much fanfare. The A.V. Club offered a glowing review, calling the novel “bold, mischievous, and brilliant,” and McElroy sat down for interviews with BOMB Magazine and The Rumpus to discuss their process in crafting their first book. McElroy also published original pieces in BuzzFeed and Literary Hub, and has essays forthcoming in Esquire, Vulture, The Atlantic, GQ, Harper’s Bazaar, and The Cut. McElroy’s virtual book tour includes events with Kristin Arnett, T Kira Madden, Alex Higley, Lauren Oyler, and other amazing fellow authors. Atria Books published the novel on May 18, 2021.
