Approaching 1000 pages, this book is—as the title states—nine novels in one. If you can't decide where to start, just read them all, and you will be delighted by the humor, drama, satire, mystery, and tragedies inside. From seaside settings and diner waitresses, to family trauma and pregnancy, these long reads are moving and perfect for any rainy day.

From the publisher: “The result of a unique project at 826NYC, a collection of nine novels by young New Yorkers. From the foreword by Richard Powers: ‘There comes a time when we must decide whether we love the world enough to hand it over to its next lover. You hold in your hands nine worlds that nine people could not find and so had to make themselves. So we tell ourselves forward, and just so - here it is before you: how the world ends this time. And how it starts again.’”
