About this product
Product Information
For fans of The Dog Stars and Station Eleven , Scrapper traces one man's desperate quest for redemption in a devastated Detroit. "Has the feel of Cormac McCarthy's The Road set in present-day Motor City... powerful." -- Publishers Weekly Detroit has descended into ruin. Kelly scavenges for scrap metal from the hundred thousand abandoned buildings in a part of the city known as "the zone," an increasingly wild landscape where one day he finds something far more valuable than the copper he's come to steal: a kidnapped boy, crying out for rescue. Briefly celebrated as a hero, Kelly secretly avenges the boy's unsolved kidnapping, a task that will take him deeper into the zone and into a confrontation with his own past and long-buried traumas. The second novel from the acclaimed author of In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods , Scrapper is a devastating reimagining of one of America's greatest cities, its beautiful architecture, its lost houses, shuttered factories, boxing gyms, and storefront churches. With precise, powerful prose, it asks: What do we owe for our crimes, even those we've committed to protect the people we love?

Reviews
Praise for In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods "Mr. Bell has written a gripping, grisly tale of a husband's descent into and ultimate emergence from some kind of personal hell." --The New York Times "It's hard to imagine a book more difficult to pull off, but Bell proves as self-assured as he is audacious . . . Bell's novel isn't just a joy to read, it's also one of the smartest meditations on the subjects of love, family and marriage in recent years . . . The novel is a monument to the uniqueness of every relationship, the possibility that love itself can make the world better, though of course it's never easy." -- NPR "Somber, incantatory sentences to hold you within [Bell's] dreamlike creation . . . This unique book leaves you with the haunting lesson that even if you renounce and cast away your loved ones, you can never disown the memory of your deeds." -- The Wall Street Journal "A blood-soaked fable . . . With this debut novel, Matt Bell [reworks] myths, rituals and fictions into something that can hold his visceral, primal vision. In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods provides us with a new, unstable literary element, something scavenged from the old, something bright and wet and vital." -- The Globe and Mail "For readers weary of literary fiction that dutifully obeys the laws of nature, here's a story that stirs the Brothers Grimm and Salvador Dali with its claws . . . As gorgeous as it is devastating." --The Washington Post " In the House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods is an extraordinary achievement, telling a most ancient story in a way that feels uncannily new." --The Boston Globe "This is a fiercely original book--at once intimate and epic, visceral and philosophical--that sent me scurrying for adjectives, for precedents, for cover. Matt Bell commands the page with bold, vigorous prose and may well have invented the pulse-pounding novel of ideas." -- Jess Walter , National Book Award Finalist and author of Beautiful Ruins and We Live In Water, Praise for Scrapper " Scrapper is an offering to the grim phoenix rising out of the ashes of Industrial America--elegy, eulogy, and prophesy. Readers: listen and attend!" -- Aaron Gwyn, author of Wynne's War and Dog on the Cross "A fearless and harrowing meditation on the ruination and transformation of cities and of peop≤ but amid loss and destruction, Bell finds a strain of piercing hope. This is an extraordinary book." --Emily St. John Mandel, New York Times bestselling author of Station Eleven "Like the very best novels, Matt Bell's dark and suspenseful Scrapper works on so many levels that it's difficult to describe in just a few words, but what I can tell you is that it's ultimately about love and death, and that people will still be reading it when all of America, not just Detroit, is crumbling under the weight of its mistakes." --Donald Ray Pollock, author of The Devil All the Time Praise for In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods "Mr. Bell has written a gripping, grisly tale of a husband's descent into and ultimate emergence from some kind of personal hell." --The New York Times "It's hard to imagine a book more difficult to pull off, but Bell proves as self-assured as he is audacious . . . Bell's novel isn't just a joy to read, it's also one of the smartest meditations on the subjects of love, family and marriage in recent years . . . The novel is a monument to the uniqueness of every relationship, the possibility that love itself can make the world better, though of course it's never easy." -- NPR "Somber, incantatory sentences to hold you within [Bell's] dreamlike creation . . .

As gorgeous as it is devastating." --The Washington Post " In the House Upon the Dirt Between the Lake and the Woods is an extraordinary achievement, telling a most ancient story in a way that feels uncannily new." --The Boston Globe "This is a fiercely original book--at once intimate and epic, visceral and philosophical--that sent me scurrying for adjectives, for precedents, for cover.
