Author of HAPPY BAD

"Nolan has written an all-too-real future, hot and drug-addled, and every page will surprise you, delight you, devastate you. It is rare to find a book at once as imaginative and true, as horrifying and hopeful, as this brilliant debut. A major talent."
- Matt Salesses, author of Craft in the Real World

"An exhilarating, dynamic, addictive debut, Delaney Nolan's HAPPY BAD is a hell of a book

- Jami Attenberg, author of A Reason to See You Again

"A preternaturally good novel by a writer who can see the future...the slow apocalypse, the rising water, the burned-out grid. In addition to being a pitch-perfect description of the consequences of capital's love affair with oil, HAPPY BAD is a riotously well-written, weirdly fun nail-biter of a story - and a poignant defense of human life, however grimy the circumstances.

- Lydia Kiesling, author of Mobility

"HAPPY BAD shows the too-near future of our nightmares: climate disastrous, opportunities few, food altered, brains manipulated. But this book also gives us the best we can dream of: people who look out for each other, communities who take care. Delaney Nolan has written a brutal, joyful, surprising, and gorgeous novel of human contradictions. It’s a stunner.

- Julia Phillips, author of Disappearing Earth
