""Astonishing. A marvel of storytelling. Monica Datta's Nebraska is made of the stuff of great and uncompromising ambition. An exploration of a family enduring the oceanic and the unthinkable, with meandering byways into everything imaginable, from Lacanian psychoanalysis to postcolonial architecture to Icelandic sheepdogs. A novel at once ferociously intelligent, humane, and bursting at the seams with splendor."" —Shobha Rao, author of Indian Country ""Datta has designed an intricate labyrinth that lures you in, while exposing unreachable corners of the human psyche. Compelling!"" —Ledia Xhoga, author of Misinterpretation ""Monica Datta is a remarkable, original voice. This is a novel of labyrinthian depth and ambition, but ultimately, a thrilling, deeply human portrait of a family. I was left stunned, in the finest way possible, for a long time afterward."" —Nayantara Roy, bestselling author of The Magnificent Ruins
