Call it a gleefully rude comedy of manners, a Middlemarch�for Millennials. The novel's four whip-smart narrators - idealistic Cory, Internet-lurking Will, awkward Henrik, and vicious Linda - are torn between fixing the world and cannibalizing it. In boisterous prose that ricochets between humour and pain, the four estranged friends�stagger through the Bay Area's maze of tech start-ups, protestors, gentrifiers, karaoke bars, house parties and cultish self-help seminars, washing up in each other's lives once again. A wise and searching depiction of a generation grappling with privilege and finding grace in failure,�Private Citizens�is as expansively intelligent as it is full of heart. *A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016 - SELECTED BY JONATHAN FRANZEN*�
