Dwight Garner, “The New American Love Story, Lived in the Shadows: ‘Preparation for the Next Life’ by Atticus Lish,” New York Times The best short review of the year for a novel that deserves it. This is an intense book with a low, flyspecked center of gravity. It’s about blinkered lives, scummy apartments, dismal food, bad options. At its knotty core, amazingly, is perhaps the finest and most unsentimental love story of the new decade. It’s one that builds slowly in intensity, like a shaft of sunlight into an anthracite mine.
