An “extremely funny...brilliantly alive” social satire from bestselling author Sam Lipsyte, this story revolves around an unwitting mindfulness guru and the phenomenon he sparks. In a tumultuous America marked by political upheaval, cultural discord, and spiritual confusion, many find themselves anxious and distracted, desperately seeking peace and focus. Enter Hark Morner, a failed stand-up comic turned mindfulness guru whose program aims to captivate the masses. For Fraz and Tovah, a middle-aged couple facing a rough patch, Hark’s “Mental Archery” may not be enough to navigate the complexities of love, lust, work, and parenthood amidst civilizational collapse. With the rise of fringe players like a renegade Ivy League ethicist, a gentle Swedish kidnapper, and a struggling social media tycoon, time may be running out. Yet, what’s the point of a world, even a post-apocalyptic one, if they don’t strive to keep their marriage alive? This “awfully funny...tartly effective sendup of 21st-century America” showcases Lipsyte’s daring exploration of contemporary absurdity and the emotional truths of his characters. With “every line feeling as thrillingly charged as a live wire,” this novel offers a smart, incisive look at the search for meaning and dignity in a chaotic world.
