State of Paradise
by
by
A whirlwind, a rollercoaster, a crazy train and maze of mirrors.
The ghostwriter is our protagonist, and she has returned to Florida with her husband post Covid to assist her mother. Her father has recently died, her sister lives next door and her husband is struggling as he continues to try to complete a book on Pilgrims. Van Den Berg punctures each paragraph with insights that are hard to argue yet sometimes also hard to swallow.
The Ghostwriter is stuck, she hasn't moved on from her stint in a mental institution after high school, and she never made peace with her family. She is now in her childhood home writing ridiculous thrillers for famous named-authors. When a storm hits and her sister goes missing, the world is truly put on it's end and we are all forced to deal with what is actually happening in the world today.
It's a carefully wrought crazy burst of sanity, this is the ride you need to take - Read States of Paradise!
