<p><b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER • LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN FICTION</b> <b>•A <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR</b></p><p><b>"A master comedian with a virtuoso prose style has produced an audacious, original and highly disturbing book . . . an incandescent satire." —Giles Harvey, <i>The</i> <i>New York Times </i>Magazine </b></p><p><b>From the Whiting and O. Henry–winning author of <i>Private Citizens </i>(“the first great millennial novel,” <i>New York Magazine)</i>, an electrifying novel-in-stories that follows a cast of intricately linked characters as rejection throws their lives and relationships into chaos.</b></p><p>Sharply observant and outrageously funny, <i>Rejection </i>is a provocative plunge into the touchiest problems of modern life. The seven connected stories seamlessly transition between the personal crises of a complex ensemble and the comic tragedies of sex, relationships, identity, and the internet.</p><p>In “The Feminist,” a young man’s passionate allyship turns to furious nihilism as he realizes, over thirty lonely years, that it isn’t getting him laid. A young woman’s unrequited crush in “Pics” spirals into borderline obsession and the systematic destruction of her sense of self. And in “Ahegao; or, The Ballad of Sexual Repression,” a shy late bloomer’s flailing efforts at a first relationship leads to a life-upending mistake. As the characters pop up in each other’s dating apps and social media feeds, or meet in dimly lit bars and bedrooms, they reveal the ways our delusions can warp our desire for connection.</p><p>These brilliant satires explore the underrated sorrows of rejection with the authority of a modern classic and the manic intensity of a manifesto. Audacious and unforgettable, <i>Rejection</i> is a stunning mosaic that redefines what it means to be rejected by lovers, friends, society, and oneself.</p><p><b>"<i>Rejection</i> is unrelentingly brutal and gut-bustingly funny and spares no one—not you, not me.
