Amazons

Outrageously funny, erotic and vivid in its unforgettable characters and skewed wisdom. It’s also a kind of talisman against a thousand-thousand pointless, moribund celebrity memoirs; a pitch-perfect satire that somehow also remains joyous and uncynical. My mind and spirit feels cleansed by it.

Luke Kennard, Booker-longlisted author of BLACK BAG

A funny, racy hockey novel DeLillo published under a pen name, be reprinted for the first time in 46 years... a faux memoir written from the perspective of the first woman to play in the NHL, full of jokes, weird asides and social satire, and a fair amount of sex. There’s hockey too, of course.

I don't want to talk about it

Don DeLillo, epigraph to AMAZONS

Light on its and feet and lethally funny... If you’re a careful reader of DeLillo's work, his wit is absolutely delicious, and he can do a comic scene that will have you rolling on the floor, and that’s an aspect of his worldview that he let off the leash for AMAZONS

Bookforum

The funniest book I've ever read

Rachel Kushner, Booker-shortlisted author of CREATION LAKE

Written with bone-dry wit, pitch-perfect dialogue and edgy social satire... The novel is studded with absurd, madcap moments, but it also sneaks in social satire thatin retrospect looks, as DeLillo’s work often does, prescient
