Reviews
Praise for Helen of Nowhere A Millions Most Anticipated Book of Summer 2025 "Virtuosically written, with an insanity inside its sanity--or the other way around--that seems the proper use to make of reality in this moment." --Rachel Cusk, award winning author of Parade "Goodman has wrought an epic in miniature, somehow as appealingly vast as a Greek tragedy or a Platonic dialogue, equal parts philosophy and art that's also delightfully wicked, like something from a fairytale or a fever dream." --Sarah Manguso, author of Liars "This is a wild and brave book! Intrepid, reconfiguring, and full of the best hauntings. In Helen of Nowhere , Goodman has daringly crafted toothsome characters you will devour." --Samantha Hunt, author of The Unwritten Book "A furious energy runs through Helen of Nowhere , whose every sentence is a joy to read. This is a book about loneliness and bitterness written with a wicked humor, and its moments of grace are as striking as they are enigmatic. A unique and brilliant work." --Aysegül Savas, author of The Anthropologists "Blending biting wit and gorgeous, lyrical prose, Helen of Nowhere is at once a modern satire summoning Dickens in A Christmas Carol , an exploration of the failures of second wave feminism, and a sneaky ode to Woolf and Thoreau. It's hard to pin down what this book is exactly, and whether or not Helen is Jesus, a furniture maker, god, the house, a wife, or time itself. Which is why you must restart it the moment you turn the last haunting page." --Alexandra Auder, author of Don't Call Me Home " Helen of Nowhere is an extraordinary book, gripping, daring, and unusual. With a pacing that completely swept me along, Goodman explores the need to steady oneself by valuing that which is dear, by taking care of the love that needs to be nourished. The trajectory through anger into healing feels like a real journey in time--the dialogue flashing past, written with such speed and brilliance. I wolfed it down." --Celia Paul, author of Letters to Gwen John, Praise for Helen of Nowhere A Millions Most Anticipated Book of Summer 2025 A Literary Hub Novel You Need to Read This Fall " Helen of Nowhere is lyrical but succinct, and it's playful without being pretentious. Undoubtedly, Man will stay with readers for a long time, something that would make him quite happy." --Emily Hall, Necessary Fiction "A vessel for the contradictions of the present unlike any recent novel I've read." --Idra Novey, Chicago Review of Books "Frank and brutal in its unpeeling of the professor's ego, [ Helen of Nowhere ] highlights how the fantastic can elevate the mundane." --Ian Mond, Locus "Epic in the best way--the characters feel both familiar and new, the folly of Man is on full display, and on a sentence level, it's the kind of book that forces you to underline. Goodman's novel is a tribute to her influences, and a crackling joy to read." --Jessie Gaynor, Literary Hub "A clever exercise in exploring the shifting nature of power." -- Publishers Weekly "Virtuosically written, with an insanity inside its sanity--or the other way around--that seems the proper use to make of reality in this moment." --Rachel Cusk, award winning author of Parade "Goodman has wrought an epic in miniature, somehow as appealingly vast as a Greek tragedy or a Platonic dialogue, equal parts philosophy and art that's also delightfully wicked, like something from a fairytale or a fever dream." --Sarah Manguso, author of Liars "This is a wild and brave book!

Goodman draws a dark and suspenseful tale out of the feelings of envy women have for one another, fanned in this moment of high capitalism--a shame many of us know and feel, that reading this novel somehow helps disperse." --Sheila Heti, author of Pure Colour "Unsettling, smart, perceptive." --Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Tomorrow "Goodman writes with blazing clarity and admirable wit about the joys and sorrows of raising children. Her depiction of the longing, self-loathing, and quiet rage that accompanies sidelined ambition is brilliantly complex." --Jenny Offill, New York Times bestselling author of Weather " The Shame is startlingly original. . . . . More importantly, this is a novel about how you can feel driven to take risks that don't matter in order to avoid taking the risks that do matter." --Alexander Chee, Paris Review "[A] swift and sensual debut . . . Goodman's sentences pulse, they are alive, with the mess and ambivalence and artistic ambition and desire for more that saturates Alma's mind as it asks, with fear: Is this all? Is this enough?" -- The Boston Globe, Praise for Helen of Nowhere "Virtuosically written, with an insanity inside its sanity--or the other way around--that seems the proper use to make of reality in this moment." --Rachel Cusk, award winning author of Parade "Goodman has wrought an epic in miniature, somehow as appealingly vast as a Greek tragedy or a Platonic dialogue, equal parts philosophy and art that's also delightfully wicked, like something from a fairytale or a fever dream." --Sarah Manguso, author of Liars "This is a wild and brave book!

Synopsis
An electrifying novel about the delights and dangers of starting over. In the middle of the countryside, a realtor is showing a disgraced professor around an idyllic house. She speaks not only about the home's many wonderful qualities but about its previous owner, the mystifying Helen, whose presence still seems to suffuse every fixture. Through hearing stories of Helen's chosen way of living, the man begins to see that his own story is not actually over--rather, he is being offered a chance to buy his way into the simple life, close to the land, that's always been out of reach to him. But as evening fades into black, he will learn that the asking price may be much higher, and stranger, than anticipated. Philosophically and formally adventurous, at once intimate and cosmic in scope, Helen of Nowhere asks: What must we give up in exchange for true happiness?
