The Nix

'It broke my heart, this book. Time after time. It made me laugh just as often. I loved it on the first page as powerfully as I did on the last, and I think I was right, right from the start. Because Nathan Hill? He's gonna be famous. This is just the start.' US National Public Radio

'Hill has so much talent to burn that he can pull off just about any style, imagine himself into any person and convincingly portray any place or time. The Nix is hugely entertaining and unfailingly smart, and the author seems incapable of writing a pedestrian sentence or spinning a boring story.' New York Times Book Review

'We're in the presence of a major new comic novelist . . . What a brilliant, endearing writer Hill is . . . Readers will be dazzled.' Washington Post

'A great sprawling feast of a first novel . . . Hill writes with an astonishingly sure hand . . . Let's just call him the real thing.' Newsday

'So spot-on it's frightening . . . That it's so entertaining, so full of energy, and packed with social and political observations that adroitly destabilize our comfortable assumptions about modern life is a triumph.' Huffington Post
