Captures our time with bracing propulsive energy and brilliant honesty . . . Albert is virtuosic. -- Washington Post

Ari is isolated with a one-year-old son in a decayed upstate New York town. Then Mina appears, pregnant and alone. Suddenly there is the possibility of connection, and soon the two are comrades-in-arms, navigating the hostile terrain of new motherhood together. Acclaimed for its insight, outrageous humor, and power to spark fierce debate, After Birth is a daring and transformative novel about friendship, history, and the body.

Vicious, hilarious, and above all real. --New York Times Book Review

Boils with dark humor and brutal honesty. --People

Funny as hell . . . Enlightening, sharply moving, and true. --Star Tribune

A smartly acerbic exploration. --O, The Oprah Magazine

Edgy . . . Like Lorrie Moore . . . cracked open. --Los Angeles Review of Books
