" We the Animals is a dark jewel of a book. It's heartbreaking. It's beautiful. It resembles no other book I've read. We should all be grateful for Justin Torres, a brilliant, ferocious new voice." -Michael Cunningham"The best book you'll read this fall...WE THE ANIMALS, a slim novel - just 144 pages -- about three brothers, half white, half Puerto Rican, scrambling their way through a dysfunctional childhood, is the kind of book that makes a career....Torres's sentences are gymnastic, leaping and twirling, but never fancy for the sake of fancy, always justified by the ferocity and heartbreak and hunger and slap-happy euphoria of these three boys. It's a coming-of-age novel set in upstate New York that rumbles with lyric dynamite. It's a knock to the head that will leave your mouth agape. Torres is a savage new talent." - Esquire"First-time novelist Justin Torres unleashes We the Animals (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), a gorgeous, howling coming-of-age novel that will devour your heart." - Vanity Fair"a novel so honest, poetic, and tough that it makes you reexamine what it means to love and to hurt. Written in the voice of the youngest of three boys, this partly autobiographical tale evokes the cacophony of a messy childhood flying trash-bag kites, ransacking vegetable gardens, and smashing tomatoes until pulp runs down the kitchen walls. But despite the din the brothers create, the novel belongs to their mother, who alternates between gruff and matter-of-fact 'loving big boys is different from loving little boys you've got to meet tough with tough.' In stark prose, Torres shows us how one family grapples with a dangerous and chaotic love for each other, as well as what it means to become a man." - O, the Oprah Magazine"Some books quicken your pulse. Some slow it. Some burn you inside and send you tearing off to find the author to see who made this thing that can so burn you and quicken you and slow you all at the same time. A miracle in concentrated pages, you are going to read it again and again, and know exactly what I mean." -Dorothy Allison "In language brilliant, poised and pure, We the Animals tells about family love as it is felt when it is frustrated or betrayed or made to stand in the place of too many other needed things, about how precious it becomes in these extremes, about the terrible sense of loss when it fails under duress, and the joy and dread of realizing that there really is no end to it." -Marilynne Robinson " We the Animals snatches the reader by the scruff of the heart, tight as teeth, and shakes back and forth-between the human and the animal, the housed and the feral, love and violence, mercy and wrath-and leaves him in the wilderness, ravished by its beauty. It is an indelible and essential work of art." -Paul Harding, Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Tinkers " We the Animals marks the debut of an astonishing new voice in American Literature. In an intense coming-of-age story that brings to mind the early work of Jeffrey Eugenides and Sandra Cisneros, Torres's concentrated prose goes down hot like strong liquor. His beautifully flawed characters worked their way into my heart on the very first page and have been there ever since." -Tayari Jones, author of Silver Sparrow " We the Animals is a gorgeous, deeply humane book. Every page sings, and every scene startles. I think we'll all be reading Justin Torres for years to come." -Daniel Alarcon, author of Lost City Radio and War by Candlelight

Synopsis
ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY The critically acclaimed debut from the National Book Award-winning author of Blackouts. In this award-winning, groundbreaking novel, Justin Torres plunges us into the chaotic heart of one family, the intense bonds of three brothers, and the mythic effects of this fierce love on the people we must become. "A tremendously gifted writer whose highly personal voice should excite us in much the same way that Raymond Carver's or Jeffrey Eugenides's voice did when we first heard it."--The Washington Post Three brothers tear their way through childhood-- smashing tomatoes all over each other, building kites from trash, hiding out when their parents do battle, tiptoeing around the house as their mother sleeps off her graveyard shift. Paps and Ma are from Brooklyn--he's Puerto Rican, she's white--and their love is a serious, dangerous thing that makes and unmakes a family many times. Life in this family is fierce and absorbing, full of chaos and heartbreak and the euphoria of belonging completely to one another. From the intense familial unity felt by a child to the profound alienation he endures as he begins to see the world, this beautiful novel reinvents the coming-of-age story in a way that is sly and punch-in-the-stomach powerful. "We the Animals is a dark jewel of a book. It's heartbreaking. It's beautiful. It resembles no other book I've read."--Michael Cunningham "A fiery ode to boyhood . . . A welterweight champ of a book."--NPR, Weekend Edition, A NATIONAL BESTSELLER and an award-winning novel in stories surrounding a young, half-white, half-Puerto Rican boy grappling with life, love, and identity as he comes of age., NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE In this groundbreaking debut, Justin Torres plunges us into the chaotic heart of one family, the intense bonds of three brothers, and the mythic effects of this fierce love on the people we must become.

A kind of incantation." -- The New Yorker, ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY The critically acclaimed debut from the National Book Award-winning author of Blackouts .

Prices are some of the best around. The seller also took lots of care in packaging the cards to keep them safe on their journey. I cannot recommend this seller enough. Highly recommend.

This card was listed near mint and I was very pleased when the card arrived and it was in the condition it was described as (only a small imperfection on the back of the top-right of the card). I also really appreciate that the seller uses thicker envelopes than most sellers do, to better protect the item during shipping. The card was sleeved, in a toploader, sealed in a plastic bag.
