Rooms for Vanishing

Nadler is a genius. Rooms for Vanishing is the book of my dreams – Sabrina Orah Mark Stuart Nadler was already one of the most intelligent, precise, and profound writers of our generation. With Rooms for Vanishing his gift ascends to an astonishing new height – Claire Vaye Watkins, author of I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness Reading Rooms for Vanishing feels like peering into a small window and discovering the whole universe. Past and present, what is missing and what is here, the finite facts and the infinite truth. This is a novel that aches with the possibility of retrieving what was lost, of seeing in body what exists so clearly in the heart – Ramona Ausubel, author of The Last Animal Life-affirming and death-drenched, devastating and delightful … Rooms for Vanishing is a phantasmagorical portrait of violence and time, a detailed and patient cosmology of ghosts . I wept, real tears, at least seven times reading this novel, and I intend to return to these pages often – Moriel Rothman-Zecher, author of Before All the World
