LIFE IS EVERYWHERE by Lucy Ives
LIFE IS EVERYWHERE by Lucy Ives published to a wave of glowing reviews from Bookforum, The Los Angeles Times (“brilliantly berserk,” “often hilarious,” “a novel of academia…Its depiction of department dynamics is so pitch perfect as to be truly disconcerting to anyone with personal experience”) and The Rumpus, which hails Ives as “a Big Ideas writer on the level of Gaddis, or DeLillo, or Wallace…[O]ne of our greatest under-the-radar geniuses,” the novel an “achievement [that] demands attention.” The Chicago Review of Books places it "among the most audacious, effective, and ambitious books of recent vintage," "a novel of multitudinous brilliance and luminosity...as wide-ranging and risk-taking a novel to be found this side of Infinite Jest." The novel has also been recommended on new book roundups from Bustle, Inside Hook, and Lit Hub, the latter of which also published a new excerpt of the novel. Graywolf Press published LIFE IS EVERYWHERE on October 4, 2022.
