Apocalyptic and psychologically attentive. I was moved.
-Tao Lin, New York Times Book Review
-Electric Literature Nothing feels like the descendent of the masterful short stories of Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son. [A] noteworthy debut.
-Bustle A burning mean and darkly mysterious read.
-Joy Williams I could tell you that Anne Marie Wirth Cauchon has written an utterly contemporary novel of our fragmented culture, a novel that I think might be the great American novel of the selfie, brilliantly alternating the narratives of two young travelers partying and searching and losing themselves in the wild West -- a Kerouac hitchhiker juxtaposed with the nihilistic, wanting, wandering Ruth and her toxic friendship with her prettier best friend. But this is what I want to tell you--this is what you need to know -- Anne Marie Wirth Cauchon writes like a beast, brutal and ecstatic. You need to read this.
-Kate Zambreno An edgy debut. Cauchon's characters have serrated edges... they'll get under the reader's skin.
-Publishers Weekly Claustrophobic. It's August and the hills are on fire and I'm reading Nothing. I see Wirth Cauchon's characters lurking around Missoula, outside the bars and walking along the river, lost and fucked up, abused and abusers, seekers, trustafarians, and ne'er-do-wells. Stuck in the limbo of youthful identity crisis, desperate for a way in or a way out.
-Jeff Ament
Ruth traded a dead-end life in Minneapolis for a dead-end life in Missoula. But in Missoula, she's got Bridget. [Bridget] was gorgeous... but that wasn't it, that didn't quite explain it. What explained it was the curse. The curse of the unreasonably pretty, the curse of cult leaders and dictators. It sucked everyone to her, it consumed her, made her untouchable.
After a local girl dies at a party, signaling the end of fun for the twentysomethings of Missoula, James and Ruth become involved. But jealousy over Bridget quickly complicates things.
Nothing announces a nervy and assertive new voice, while also capturing the angst and foreboding that could mark it as an even grander generational statement.
