“I promise that you have never read a book like Canon. It’s a scorchingly brilliant, wildly funny, and deeply moving epic. I loved it so much that upon finishing Canon, I immediately began rereading it.”
—John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything is Tuberculosis
“An unprecedented page-turner . . . I wish I could spend a thousand more pages with the narrator of Canon, whose keenness, kindness, associative brilliance, storytelling authority, and crow-black humor make every line of this utterly singular novel a surprise and a delight . . . Canon filled me with overwhelming joy, joy that such an extraordinary story exists.”
—Karen Russell, bestselling author of The Antidote
“One of my favorite poets and now one of my favorite novelists. The funniest, most immersive book I have read in such a long time, Canon is a book only Paige Lewis could write. With a voice that is whole their own they have crafted something that is truly original, brimming with humor, beauty, heartbreak, magic, and sharp language that will strike you deep down in your soul. Lewis has taken the hero’s journey and breathed new life, new wit, and new possibility into the genre and just like the best epics, you will make away bewildered by the prose but maybe have learned something necessary about living. In my house this is an instant classic.”
—Danez Smith, author of Bluff
