Reviews"A haunting read that will linger long after the last page is read." -- Kate Whitman, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Praise for The Fighter "One of those wonderful and rare books that's both a page-turner and a novel of great depth and emotion. The Fighter is Southern noir at its finest."-- Ace Atkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Fallen and The Sinners "Michael Farris Smith is so good, I might actually hate him a little bit. The Fighter is a book I wish I'd written but am deeply grateful I got to read. It is a masterful portrait of place and character and how one influences the other, with language that is both brutal and tender at once. Smith loves Jack Boucher and the Mississippi Delta to the bone."--- Attica Locke, author of Bluebird, Bluebird "I loved The Fighter . Michael Farris Smith is one of the most exciting new voices in American fiction. Just as I couldn't put down Desperation Road till I finished, I tore through this novel as well. I'm hooked." --- Brad Watson, author of Miss Jane, Praise for Nick Entertainment Weekly's Top Reads to Start 2021 Barnes & Noble Bookseller Favorites O Magazine's Best Books of the New Year Town & Country 27 Books to Sink Your Teeth Into Garden & Gun Top-of-2021 Reading List for Southerners, "It is a brave and ambitious project to write the backstory of Nick Carraway, the narrator of F. Scott Fitzgerald's American classic, The Great Gatsby , but that is what Michael Farris Smith does in his sixth novel, Nick ...Smith's descriptions of warfare are cinematic, chilling and unforgettable...In style and theme, this Nick will remind readers of another Nick: the character Nick Adams of Ernest Hemingway's best short stories." -- Alden Mudge, BookPage

SynopsisA critically acclaimed novelist pulls Nick Carraway out of the shadows and into the spotlight in this "masterful" look into his life before Gatsby (Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls and Chances Are ). Before Nick Carraway moved to West Egg and into Gatsby's periphery, he was at the center of a very different story-one taking place along the trenches and deep within the tunnels of World War I. Floundering in the wake of the destruction he witnessed firsthand, Nick delays his return home, hoping to escape the questions he cannot answer about the horrors of war. Instead, he embarks on a transcontinental redemptive journey that takes him from a whirlwind Paris romance-doomed from the very beginning-to the dizzying frenzy of New Orleans, rife with its own flavor of debauchery and violence. An epic portrait of a truly singular era and a sweeping, romantic story of self-discovery, this rich and imaginative novel breathes new life into a character that many know but few have pondered deeply. Charged with enough alcohol, heartbreak, and profound yearning to paralyze even the heartiest of golden age scribes, Nick reveals the man behind the narrator who has captivated readers for decades.
