“Hot damn, Jordy Rosenberg can write! Night Night Fawn contains an unabashed, unhinged, urgent id that rockets around its pages at escape velocity—and yet it voices that id with control, precision, and originality. Moving! Thrilling! This is me applauding in blurb form.”—Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby
“Night Night Fawn is one of the astounding novels of our time, a triumph of voice and social critique, a generational reckoning that is as urgent and gripping as it is playful.”—David Chariandy, author of Brother
“From one of our most fearless living novelists comes this extraordinary book. No half measures here, just big ideas and living characters and metafictional panache and surprise after heart-stopping surprise.”—Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House
“A singularly hysterical and ferocious novel, a book that has you in stitches while re-suturing you—inviting you to feel how history both moves through and acts upon a body . . . an urgent intervention into contemporary Jewish letters and the ways in which settler colonialism and gendered violence reproduce inside our families. . . . I was absolutely floored by this book and am just now peeling myself up off the ground.”—Sam Sax, author of Yr Dead
“A novel as wickedly funny as it is smart . . . I have simply never read anything like it.”—Melissa Febos, author of Body Work
“Rosenberg invites us into an epic, audacious investigation of a mother and thus of gender, familial homophobia and transphobia, Jewishness and Zionism, and memory and self-delusion, across the millennium and all at an angle. I love this brilliant and hilarious novel!”—Andrea Lawlor, author of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl
“Jordy Rosenberg’s exuberant, exasperating narrator unleashes the full, hilarious, and ultimately revealing power of the rant. Night Night Fawn is a hugely enjoyable novel, devious and rich in irony.”—Sofia Samatar, British Fantasy Award-winning author of The White Mosque
“A bravura performance . . . Rosenberg breaks open a library of silences here.”—Alexander Chee, author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel
