MADE TO BREAK
Two days before New Years, a pack of five friends—three men and two women—head to a remote cabin near Lake Tahoe to celebrate the holidays. They've been buddies forever, banded together by scrapes and squalor, their relationships defined by these wild times.
Five friends go to a mountain cabin to ring in the New Year. Accompanied by their totem copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Basil, Lucille, Hickory, Dinky, our narrator AJ plan to party til their stash of pills and drugs and booze runs out. But when Dinky is gravely injured in a car accident with no help in reach, the group has to grapple with their existential fears and their true emotions. A strange Hamlet-quoting old hermit named Super appears on the scene, adding a element of uncertainty-- is he friend or foe?
With some of the most luminous and purple prose flexed in recent memory, D. Foy is an incendiary new voice and Made to Break, a grand, episodic debut, redolent of the stark conscience of Denis Johnson and the spellbinding vision of Roberto Bolaño.
D. Foy has had work published or forthcoming in BOMB, Post Road, the Literary Review, the Georgia Review, Forty Stories: New Writing from Harper Perennial, and Laundromat, an homage to photographs of laundromats throughout New York City (powerHouse Books).
