       Praise for Doxology:

      ‘This is a typical Zink novel, in that it’s totally unpredictable … the random nature of life is one of Doxology’s themes … Zink injects all of this with her usual deadpan hilarity, while her cast of inimitable misfits are never in danger of being overshadowed by her larger concerns’

      STEPHANIE CROSS, Daily Mail

      ‘Even the things we know are going to happen retain the weight of the unexpected, and that is down to Zink’s facility for recreating not just detail but also the texture of the past’

      SARAH DITUM, The Spectator

      ‘An ambitious and original novel’

       Image Magazine

      ‘Invigorating’

       Guardian

      ‘A distinct, unflinching look at the country’s past and future’

       Time

      ‘A master of compassionate satire bestows another off-kilter epic’

       O, The Oprah Magazine

      ‘With the precision of a sniper, Nell Zink nails the disorientation of coming of age in the 1980s … [Zink’s] most ambitious novel … Ms. Zink writes with such momentum, and seems to be having so much fun, that she can make a story that traverses some of the darkest moments in recent history (9/11, both Iraq wars, the 2016 election) into an exhilarating and grimly amusing page-turner’

       Wall Street Journal

      ‘Has Nell Zink written the Great American Gen-X Novel? … Doxology comes out swinging for a centre spot in the literary canon’

       Chicago Tribune

      ‘The first truly great novel to tackle the 2016 election … [Zink] captures those doomed final days before November 8, 2016, more accurately than any breathlessly reported account from any political reporter or former campaign worker’
