From a brilliant new literary talent comes a sweeping comic portrait of privilege, ambition and friendship - dubbed ‘the first great millennial novel’ by New York Magazine.'A brilliant novel – whip smart, hilarious and entirely engrossing' Emma Cline, author of The Girls'Tulathimutte is a big talent' Jonathan Franzen, author of Purity'An eloquent social novel bristling with logic’ Nell Zink, Financial Times, Best Summer Books of 2016'Tulathimutte is a pervert and a madman and a stone-cold genius’ Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House'Tulathimutte is utterly inimitable.' Raven Leilani, author of Luster'Tulathimutte, undoubtedly one of the foremost fiction writers of his generation, is virtuosic, in the realm of the greats.’ Jia Tolentino, author of Trick MirrorCapturing the anxious, self-aware mood of young college grads in the noughties, Private Citizens embraces the contradictions of our new century. Call it a gleefully rude comedy of manners, a Middlemarch for Millennials. The novel's four whip-smart narrators – idealistic Cory, Internet-lurking Will, awkward Henrik, and vicious Linda – are torn between fixing the world and cannibalizing it. In boisterous prose that ricochets between humour and pain, the four estranged friends stagger through the Bay Area's maze of tech start-ups, protestors, gentrifiers, karaoke bars, house parties and cultish self-help seminars, washing up in each other's lives once again.A wise and searching depiction of a generation grappling with privilege and finding grace in failure, Private Citizens is as expansively intelligent as it is full of heart.*A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016 – SELECTED BY JONATHAN FRANZEN*

Seine Prosa spruht formlich vor manischer Intelligenz. Emma ClineDieses Buch hat fur Furore gesorgt wie kaum ein zweites Werk der amerikanischen Gegenwartsliteratur: Von der Kritik gefeiert, von Lesern leidenschaftlich diskutiert, erzahlt Tony Tulathimutte so brillant wie zum Totcringen komisch von Millennials, Misfits und Masturbauteurs. Ein erklarter Feminist fallt ins Wurmloch der Incel-Szene. Eine Frau versinkt in einer selbstzerstorerischen Spirale, als ein One-Night-Stand nicht zur erhofften Beziehung fuhrt. Ein schwuler Thai-Amerikaner bringt es nicht uber sich, seinem Freund seinen ultranischigen Fetisch zu gestehen. Wie die Facetten eines Kaleidoskops zeigen ihre Geschichten die monstros schillernden Formen, die die Sehnsucht nach echter Nahe in einer Welt zwischen Dating-Apps und Doomscrolling annimmt. Fiasko grabt sich tief in die Zwange und Miseren unserer Gegenwart. Es uberlauft einen von den ersten Worten an. Tulathimutte, fraglos einer der herausragenden Schriftsteller seiner Generation, spielt in der Liga der ganz Gro en. New Yorker Tulathimutte, ein Meister der Komik mit einem virtuosen Stil, hat ein gewagtes, originelles und zutiefst verstorendes Buch vorgelegt, das beherzt in den Gegenverkehr der liberalen Scheinheiligkeit von heute steuert. Fiasko fangt gekonnt die brandenden Energien des Internets ein, bringt aber auch der neuen Sorte Mensch, die das Internet mit seinen wogenden Identitatskontroversen hervorbringt, tiefe Empathie entgegen. The New York Times Magazine Der witzigste Roman, den Sie dieses Jahr lesen werden. Tulathimutte ist einzigartig. Sein Stil erinnert an Nabokov hatte Nabokov zu einer Zeit gelebt, in der er von Pornos statt von Schmetterlingen besessen ware. Los Angeles Review of BooksNominiert fur den National Book Award, Best Book of the Year in The New York Times, Time Magazine, New Yorker u. v. m. Gnadenlos brutal und zum Schreien komisch. Fiasko verschont niemanden nicht dich, nicht mich. Tulathimutte ist ein Perverser, ein Wahnsinniger, ein eiskaltes Genie. Carmen Maria Machado Seine rasante Prosa und sein tiefgrundig existenzieller Witz offenbaren eine Wahrheit im Kern unserer verzweifelten Conditio humana. Fiasko ist das Buch eines Verruckten eines verruckten Genies. Garth Greenwell Ein Kick fur die Perversen unter uns. Einer der begabtesten Schriftsteller, die sich dem Thema der eigenen Generation widmen. Sein Furcht erregender Intellekt und seine abnormen Instinkte knistern in beinahe jeder Zeile. Jia Tolentino Todtraurig und entsetzlich komisch zugleich. David Sedaris A fucking party. Melissa Broder Abgedreht komisch, formal innovativ und unheimlich prazise zeigt Tulathimutte, wie das digitale Leben unsere reale Existenz schmalern oder pervertieren kann. Vincenzo Latronico Vollkommen und absolut unnachahmlich. Raven LeilaniUbersetzt von Stefanie Jacobs, Stefanie Ochel und Jan Schonherr
