There Is No Year: A Novel

"Butler is an original force who is fearless with form. . . . [an] inventive and deeply promising young author." —Time Out New York "[Butler's] sentences. . . twist and evolve, and there's a perverse joy that comes from watching just how his paragraphs are shaped, of tracing their contractions and rhythms." —Flavorpill With echoes of Justin Taylor, Tony O'Neill, and Dennis Cooper, breakout novelist Blake Butler delivers a wildly inventive, impressionistic novel of family, sickness, and the wrenching birth of art. Evocative of Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves and the films of David Lynch, There Is No Year offers a fractured, dystopian parable about the struggle and survival of art, identity, and family. As the Toronto Globe and Mail says, "if the distortion and feedback of Butler's intense riffing is too loud, you may very well be too boring."
