Ling Ling Huang’s new novel, IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, is receiving lots of praise ahead of its highly anticipated release. BookPage has given it a starred review, calling it “a frightening, enlightening powerhouse of a book.” In a review for Shelf Awareness, editor Elizabeth DeNoma writes: “IMMACULATE CONCEPTION is a dazzlingly ambitious feat of storytelling…Huang's style is as captivating and distinctive as the story itself, with incisive prose that is alternately evocative, funny, and caustic…a simmering rumination on covetousness, resilience, and atonement…[It] is a virtuosic work beaming the spectrum of human emotions through a prism of indifferent technology.” The book also received a nod on Shelf Awareness’ “Reading with…” feature with Kevin Nguyen, who calls it a “ twistily structured send-up of the art world.” Goodreads recommends the book to viewers of SEVERANCE on its “What to Read Based on Your Pop Culture Obsessions” round up.
