Wellness
Set in Chicago, Nathan Hill’s sprawling, darkly funny novel follows Jack and Elizabeth from their first encounter in the city's bohemian art scene of the 1990s to the disillusionments of middle-aged marriage. A sharp exploration of love, self-improvement, gentrification, and the absurdities of contemporary American life, Wellness asks what happens when the stories we tell ourselves stop matching reality.
A novel of beautiful sensitivity, capturing all the little parameters that shape our lives. What seems like a random story becomes a remarkably precise and moving portrait of the complexity of being human. And a wonderful way to discover Chicago along the way, in an entirely unhurried, understated manner.
