THE LATE AMERICANS

Seamus, Fyodor, Ivan, Noah and Fatima are running out of time to decide on their futures. In a university town, this circle of lovers and friends ask themselves: what is the right thing to stake a life on? Work, love, money, dance, poetry? Is love possible without harm? And what does true connection look like in an age of precarity? The Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Real Life returns with a deeply involving new novel of young men and women trying to work out what they want, and who they are.
