“Reading Flat Earth feels like opening your best friend’s diary and finding out what she really thinks about you, and then falling even more in love with her—realizing that love is something darker and more consuming than you’d let yourself believe. Flat Earth is fierce, hungry, hurting, on fire. The prose in this book makes other books feel like dull knives. This is a book about friendship and imperfect care—about the ways we love not despite but through our brokenness, because it’s what we have. I read this book in a night, breathless and enraptured—wanting to save everyone in it, and wanting to watch them burn forever.” —Leslie Jamison, author of Splinters and The Empathy Exams

“If Mary Gaitskill and Renata Adler spent a weekend collaborating on a sequel to Elizabeth Hardwick’s Sleepless Nights, maybe you’d have some precedent for Flat Earth. Anika Jade Levy’s razor-thin, razor-sharp debut novel is unlike anything I’ve ever read before. In fragments that blaze like iPhone faces in dark bedrooms at 3:00 a.m., Flat Earth captures a zeitgeist from its daily ephemera to its unhinged gestalt, transmuting the mess into a brilliant, visceral, funny, provocative, resonant, essential work of art.” —Justin Taylor, author of Reboot

“Anika Jade Levy is the voice of her generation, a voice that is searching, scalding, funny, and tragic all at once. Flat Earth is a novel of friendship and coming of age, a story of New York City and a story of America, and, above all, a story of the superpowers and pitfalls of femininity. This conspiratorial, poetic, and cool debut is a future cult classic from a literary rockstar.” —Hannah Lillith Assadi, author of Sonora and The Stars Are Not Yet Bells
