An addictive literary puzzle that introduces an unforgettable young heroine plunged into the twisted world of a secret society with a dark agenda.
Augustus Rose is a novelist and screenwriter. He was born in the northern California coastal town of Bolinas, and grew up there and in San Francisco. He lives in Chicago with his wife, the novelist Nami Mun, and their son, and teaches fiction writing at the University of Chicago.
The Readymade Thief is smart and strange, full of lovely Duchampian
tricks and treats. Augustus Rose has infused his thriller with the
true Dada spirit, nothing is quite what it seems. I loved it.
*Audrey Niffenegger*
In his highly addictive and multi-aceted first novel, Augustus Rose
pits an irrepressible and gritty young heroine against a sinister
group of fanatics. The Readymade Thief is a kickass debut from
start to finish.
*Colson Whitehead, author of 'The Underground Railroad'*
The Readymade Thief is my favorite kind of book: an improbable one
… A novel that's unexpected, uncategorizable, unputdownable.
*Robin Sloan, author of 'Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore'*
A rewarding novel full of pleasures and surprises. Every time I
thought I knew where the story was going, it took me somewhere
stranger and deeper than I could have imagined. A rich, heady mix
of ideas and thrills.
*Charles Yu, author of 'How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional
Universe'*
Augustus Rose shows that he has one of the steadiest hands in
fiction … Rose has crafted something memorable, crackling with
energy, a truly wonderful tale.
*Kevin Wilson, author of 'The Family Fang'*
