About this product
Product Information
Follow Adam Levin into a hole in Chicago, ignore the signs that either he's crazy or you are, and you'll emerge somewhere gloriously strange and brilliantly funny. Like the lunatic, the genius, the acid-head, and the mystic, Levin pursues the grooves of his brain to their remotest reaches, where they begin to form a map of the world. -Adam Ehrlich Sachs, author of The Organs of Sense From the award-winning author of Bubblegum and The Instructions , a daring new novel about the absurdity, the humor, and the tragedy of survivorship. Adam Levin is one of our wildest writers and our funniest. -George Saunders A one-in-ten-billion natural disaster devastates Chicago. A Jewish comedian, his most devoted fan, and the city's mayor must struggle to move forward while the world--quite literally--caves beneath their feet. With this polyphonic tale of Chicago-style politics and political correctness, stand-up comedy and Jewish identity, celebrity, drugs, and animal psychology, Levin has constructed a monument to laughter, love, art, and resilience in an age of spectacular loss.

Reviews
"I come away from Adam Levin's books with a greater appreciation for literature, the infinite power of storytelling. Yes: he is Chicago's best novelist. With Mount Chicago , however, Levin has entered a higher realm. This book contains the tingling mystery of genius. I put it down and saw the world differently for three days. I was lighter on my feet, funnier, filled with love. This book will change you for the better. We will read Adam Levin for centuries. We will always start with Mount Chicago ." --Gabriel Bump, author of Everywhere You Don't Belong " Mount Chicago is a bawdy, mournful, deeply funny, metafictionally ingenious, psychotic, ridiculous and majestic shaggy dog joy. When Levin leads the way, every rabbit hole is a glory hole for the mind, and a secret tunnel to provisional bliss and permanent wisdom. Also recommended for parrot lovers." --Sam Lipsyte, author of The Ask "Follow Adam Levin into a hole in Chicago, ignore the signs that either he's crazy or you are, and you'll emerge somewhere gloriously strange and brilliantly funny. Like the lunatic, the genius, the acid-head, and the mystic, Levin pursues the grooves of his brain to their remotest reaches, where they begin to form a map of the world." --Adam Ehrlich Sachs, author of The Organs of Sense, "Adam Levin is one of our wildest writers and our funniest." - George Saunders, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling and Man Booker Prize winner Lincoln in the Bardo " Mount Chicago is a bawdy, mournful, deeply funny, metafictionally ingenious, psychotic, ridiculous and majestic shaggy dog joy. When Levin leads the way, every rabbit hole is a glory hole for the mind, and a secret tunnel to provisional bliss and permanent wisdom. Also recommended for parrot lovers." -Sam Lipsyte, author of The Ask "Flaubert's parrot, Loulou, has found a true literary heir in Gogol, the parrot at the emotional heart of Adam Levin's brilliant, funny, emotionally complex examination of what happens to us when we suddenly realize life is upheaval and no one is safe." -Jill Ciment, author of The Body in Question "I come away from Adam Levin's books with a greater appreciation for literature, the infinite power of storytelling.

What starts as tragedy opens into a catalog of human comedy that is brilliant, furious, and thrilling. Speaking plainly, it's the funniest American novel in years, and I swallowed it more or less whole." -Kyle Beachy, author of The Most Fun Thing "Shockingly honest and grimly funny, Mount Chicago is a riveting story of municipal and personal apocalypse: a searing exploration of bad breakups, behaviorism and analysis, chocoholism and depression, neurotic pets, twisted liaisons, the art of writing, loss and true love, pop culture, and marriage. Comparisons may be made to Roth, Pynchon and Delillo, but Adam Levin's work is inimitable, ineluctable and unique." -Rebecca Curtis, author of Twenty Grand, "Mount Chicago is a bawdy, mournful, deeply funny, metafictionally ingenious, psychotic, ridiculous and majestic shaggy dog joy. When Levin leads the way, every rabbit hole is a glory hole for the mind, and a secret tunnel to provisional bliss and permanent wisdom.
