Sobre este título

'American storytelling at its era-spanning best . . . An immersive, multi-layered portrait of a marriage, Nathan Hill’s follow-up to The Nix is a work of quiet genius' – The Observer

An Oprah's Book Club Pick.

Moving from the gritty 90s Chicago art scene to a suburbia of detox diets and home renovation hysteria, Wellness is a thought-provoking exploration of intimacy, identity, and the absurdities of our tech-obsessed health culture.

When Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the 90s, the two quickly join forces and hold on tight, each eager to claim a place in Chicago’s thriving underground art scene with an appreciative kindred spirit.

Fast-forward twenty years to married life, and the no-longer-youthful dreamers are forced to face their demons, from unfulfilled career ambitions to painful childhood memories of their own dysfunctional families. In the process, Jack and Elizabeth must undertake separate, personal excavations, or risk losing the best thing in their lives: each other.

From the author of The Nix, Wellness mines the absurdities of modern technology and modern love to reveal profound, startling truths about intimacy and connection, reimagining the love story with healthy doses of insight, irony and heart.

Resumo da Crítica

American storytelling at its era-spanning best . . . An immersive, multi-layered portrait of a marriage, Nathan Hill&rsquo;s follow-up to <i>The Nix</i> is a work of quiet genius . . . tackling a few big questions. What is truth? What is love? And therefore, inevitably, what is true love?
The incredible scope of this dazzlingly detailed state-of-the-nation satire almost defies description . . . Brilliant doesn&rsquo;t begin to describe it, but I&rsquo;ll say it anyway.
Future historians, read this book . . . a crackling, witty chronicle of the world of the urban creative classes from the 1990s to now . . . I doubt I'll enjoy many books this year as much as <i>Wellness</i>.
A reader emerges from Hill&rsquo;s world of <i>Wellness </i>with a keener eye for the tragicomic maladies of marriage, and a greater ear for the strangely affecting rhythms and algorithms of 21st-century life.
A bewitching, sophisticated book
<i>Wellness </i>is not some naive, crunchy-granola midlife-crisis novel . . . [it] is a clear-eyed look at the difficulty to live honestly in a world where authenticity may be the most challenged idea of all.
A clever satire on America's self-deluding 'wellness' class . . . The variety and ingenuity of Hill's satirical prods &ndash; from real-estate development to Facebook algorithms &ndash; is impressive.
This soulful satire takes aim at everything from gentrification to 'life hacks'. But it's also ambitious &ndash; and some nifty plotting by Hill reveals just how entangled contentment is with the stories we tell about ourselves.
This brilliant novel will leave you thinking about the truth of your own life and the stories we tell ourselves and each other. (Oprah Winfrey)
A compassionate satire of messy America
Hill's storytelling abilities are impressive . . . His novels vividly capture lonely Midwestern childhoods and real yearning for connection and understanding.
<i>Wellness </i>is a perfect novel for our age . . . It's beyond remarkable, both funny and heartbreaking, sometimes on the same page.
Hill is witty at exposing the ways intelligence and social background don&rsquo;t necessarily make us more immune to manipulation.
I read Hill&rsquo;s novel with excitement and close to a sense of disbelief that there is still a writer out there who is intrigued by amplitude and by what fiction can do if pushed far enough. (Daphne Merkin, The Atlantic)
<i>Wellness </i>brilliantly blends ideas about wellness culture, modern parenting, Internet algorithms, gentrification, and most importantly, love.
