Armed with a terminal diagnosis, a grudge, and a rental car, Hester sets out to fulfill her lifelong dream of killing her father in this brilliantly subversive and bleakly funny debut novel.Bad Nature shows were getting selfishness all wrong. As uproariously funny as a takedown of our deadly society can be, the novel is also an urgent call to exchange possession for belonging.Alissa Nutting, The New York TimesWhen Hester is diagnosed with terminal cancer on her fortieth birthday, she knows immediately what she must do: abandon her possessions and drive to California to kill her estranged father. With no friends or family tying her to the life shes built in New York City, she quits her wildly lucrative job in corporate law and starts driving west. She hasnt made it far when she runs into John, an environmental activist in need of a ride to different superfund sites across the United States. From fivestar Midwestern hotels to cultish Southwestern compounds, the two slowly make their way across the country. But will the revelations they experience along the way dissuade Hester from her goal?Ragingly singular and surprisingly moving, Bad Nature is a story of stunning detours and twists until its final destination. Part roadtrip novel, part revenge tale, part lament for our ongoing ecological crisis, its ultimately a deft examination of the indulgence of holding grudges, moral ambivalence, and the eternal possibility of redemption.
