Now that her father, Victor, is on his deathbed, Alex—a strong-headed lawyer, devoted mother, and loving sister—feels she can finally unearth the secrets of who Victor is and what he did over the course of his life and career. (A power-hungry real estate developer, he is, by all accounts, a bad man.) She travels to New Orleans to be with her family, but mostly to interrogate her tight-lipped mother, Barbra.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As Barbra fends off Alex’s unrelenting questions, she reflects on her tumultuous life with Victor. Meanwhile Gary, Alex’s brother, is incommunicado, trying to get his movie career off the ground in Los Angeles. And Gary’s wife, Twyla, is having a nervous breakdown, buying up all the lipstick in drugstores around New Orleans and bursting into crying fits. Dysfunction is at its peak. As family members grapple with Victor’s history, they must figure out a way to move forward—with one another, for themselves, and for the sake of their children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll This Could Be Yours\u003c\/em\u003e is a timely, piercing exploration of what it means to be caught in the web of a toxic man who abused his power; it shows how those webs can entangle a family for generations, and what it takes to—maybe, hopefully—break free. With her signature “sparkling prose” (\u003cem\u003eMarie Claire\u003c\/em\u003e) and incisive wit, Jami Attenberg deftly explores one of the most important subjects of our age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Best Book of 2019 from: \u003cem\u003eVogue * Real Simple * Kirkus * Buzzfeed * Time Magazine * Library Journal * Chicago Public Library? * USA Today * Vulture * People\u003c\/em\u003e   A Buzzfeed Book Club Pick * An Apple Best of the Month Selection * ABA's November Indie Next List * Shortlisted for the 2020 Tournament of Books \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eA Best Fall Book Title from: \u003cem\u003eTime * People * Entertainment Weekly * Salon *  BBC * Buzzfeed\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e * \u003cstrong\u003eRefinery29 * \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eVogue * Vulture * Bustle * Cosmopolitan * New York Post * Nylon * Bust * Hello Giggles * USA Today * The Observer * PopSugar * Newsday * Woman’s Day * St. Louis Dispatch * Inside Hook * She Knows\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e   \u003cstrong\u003eA Most Anticipated title from: \u003cem\u003eBuzzfeed * BookRiot * LitHub * The Millions * The Week * Good Housekeeping* Kirkus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e  “Attenberg gets so deep into the psyches of her characters that the story ends up seeming electric with ruin, and with possible resurrection…This is how you write a very good novel about a very bad man…\u003cem\u003eAll This Could Be Yours\u003c\/em\u003e is full of hope—but it is to say that the novel is most powerful when it’s in honest open battle with that which makes hope so difficult in the first place.”\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e   “With her sixth novel, Jami Attenberg…secures her place as an oddly sparkling master of warped family sagas…\u003cem\u003eAll This Could Be Yours\u003c\/em\u003e is orchestrated with the precision of an opera on a revolving stage…Full of brio.”—\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNPR\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e   “\u003cem\u003eAll This Could Be Yours \u003c\/em\u003eis an engaging portrait of the unshakable connection of family.” \u003cstrong\u003e—\u003cem\u003eVogue\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e   “Arguably Attenberg’s best novel to date…Attenberg’s characters compellingly offer a frank glimpse into the scourge of late capitalism and toxic masculinity in the United States…As family secrets unspool, the years of resentment and anger burn off in this tightly drawn novel.” \u003cstrong\u003e—\u003cem\u003eThe Observer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e   \"Attenberg is a master at excavating the good, the bad and the ugly truths about families, and in this short but potent novel, her richly human characters populate a witty narrative studded with surprises.\" \u003cstrong\u003e—\u003cem\u003ePeople\u003c\/em\u003e, Book of the Week\u003c\/strong\u003e   “Complicated families are Attenberg’s speciality, and she more than delivers on that premise here.” \u003cstrong\u003e—\u003cem\u003eBuzzfeed\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e   “Told from multiple perspectives, \u003cem\u003eAll This Could Be Yours\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates the heartbreak, isolation and chaos that comes from really getting to know your family.”\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e—\u003cem\u003eTime\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e   \"Attenberg is never less than wise, hilarious, and deeply real about all the fundamental topics: families, love, death, money, and knowing when you can fix something versus when you maybe can't.\" \u003cstrong\u003e—Isaac Fitzgerald\u003c\/strong\u003e   “Attenberg is...a masterful psychoanalyst...she doesn’t flinch from digging into life’s messiness, pressing gently but resolutely into wounds to see what oozes out.

The narrative voice is complex and profound...Attenberg writes with care about even the most glancing characters – a random streetcar driver, a Pilates instructor on a hike, a stroke victim sharing Victor’s hospital ward – her narrative touching so many souls, it’s like a spirit passing through.”\u0026amp;nbsp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780358361336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41146442285262,"sku":"9780358361336","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780358361336.jpg?v=1650954367","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780358361336","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
