A Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by Good Morning America, W, Nylon, SheReads, and LitHub "We count on our best young fiction writers to bring us news from the digital nervous system. Honor Levy . . . does so with special bite and �lan." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times
From groundbreaking debut author Honor Levy, stories to delight and ensnare Walking the wire between imagination and confession, My First Book marks the arrival of an electric new talent. Honor Levy's uniquely riveting voice emerges from the chaos of coming of age in Generation Z. Never far from a digital interface, her characters grapple with formative political, existential, and romantic experiences in a web-drenched society on the brink of collapse. Inventive, ambitious, and frequently surreal, the stories of My First Book are a mirrorball onto the world as it is. Levy illuminates what it is to be at once adorable, special, heavily medicated, consistently panicked, and completely sincere. One protagonist accompanies a girl with too many teeth through an abortion, while another discovers the infinite nature of love, a third reminisces about other sunsets that were "pinker, like way pinker," and another encounters God in a downtown arcade. To find and keep faith is the order of the day--but how?
