Product Information

The incredible breakout novel by one of the sharpest, funniest, most inventive writers of our time. "Who is Nell Zink? She claims to be an expatriate living in northeast Germany. Maybe she is; maybe she isn't. I don't know. I do know that this first novel arrives with a voice that is fully formed: mature, hilarious, terrifyingly intelligent, and wicked. The novel is about a bird-loving American couple that moves to Europe and becomes, basically, eco-terrorists. This is strange, and interesting, but in between is some writing about marriage, love, fidelity, Europe, and saving the earth that is as funny and as grown-up as anything I've read in years. And there are some jokes in here that a young Don DeLillo would kill to have written. I hope he doesn't kill Nell Zink." (Keith Gessen)

Kirkus, 7/30/14, Starred Review. Zink's cerebral, fast-paced first novel chronicles a young woman's life in Europe after marrying a man she's known for three weeks. Following her husband, Stephen, from Philadelphia to Bern, Switzerland, for his research and development job at a medical device firm, Tiffany explains, "We didn't talk much about what we were doing. We had a deal." They're both whip-smart, but strangers, and the "deal" for Tiffany in this dark, philosophical sex comedy goes sour from the word go. After Stephen hits a bird with the car, swerves and crashes into a large rock, Tiffany miscarries, and he worries more about capturing the bird--the wallcreeper of the title--than helping her; weeks later, he forces her into anal sex. "I gasped for air, dreading the moment when he would pull out, and thought, Girls are lame." She half-jokes, "I felt like the Empress Theodora. Can I get more orifices?" but notes, "My sense of depending on Stephen for my happiness had evaporated." He does offer stability, though, so she stays married since she'd rather not work and has no degree or experience to bank on. They have affairs openly, and after his career goes sideways (drugs, heavy birding), their love survives, mostly as a hypnotic ideal. Moving to Germany, they live apart and become environmental activists, navigating complex public policy on natural resources--a subject Zink mines for humor and a sociopolitical counterpoint to Tiffany's personal chaos--then reunite for a harrowing trek by donkey through Albania. Tiffany agrees she's no feminist and doesn't argue when a friend quips about her life's trajectory, "My love, you have the attention span of a fish." But at a remove from the uproarious, inventive and infinitely quotable sentences, Tiffany's lonely existence careens from sex toward self-knowledge as death breezes by late in the book. A brief yet masterful novel of epic breadth., "Nell Zink's heady and rambunctious debut novel . . . moves at breakneck speed . . . Wake up, this book says: in its plot lines, in its humor, in its philosophical underpinnings and political agenda. I'll pay it the highest compliment it knows -- this book is a wild thing." NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW "Zink's debut novel doesn't need a celebrity blurb...Its premise is so good it endorses itself..." WIRED "Peppered with witty one-liners, Zink's portrayal of a young American couple that moves to Europe is strange, hilarious, and utterly captivating." HARPERS BAZAAR "A brief yet masterful novel of epic breadth." KIRKUS REVIEW (STARRED REVIEW) "Zink's debut novel is a weird, funny, sad, and sharp story of growing up. . . . the introduction of an exciting new voice." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED REVIEW) "Nell Zink might be the best living writer you haven't heard of yet, but prepare to hear her name a lot." PAPERMAG "A strange, funny, super-engaging book." BUSTLE "A manic, heartfelt, intellectual novel about an American couple living in Europe, The Wallcreeper is one of the best books of the year." FICTION ADVOCATE "It's a major debut, one that proves its author is gifted, strangely and beguilingly, with no shortage of honesty and eloquence." FLAVORWIRE
