Death Valley Av Melissa Broder

<b>The most profound book yet from the visionary author of <i>Milk Fed </i>and <i>The Pisces</i>, a darkly funny novel about grief that becomes a desert survival story.</b>A woman arrives alone at a Best Western seeking respite from an emptiness that plagues her. She has fled to the California high desert to escape a cloud of sorrow ¿ for both her father in the ICU and a husband whose illness is worsening. What the motel provides, however, is not peace but a path, thanks to a receptionist who recommends a nearby hike.Out on the sun-scorched trail, the woman encounters a towering cactus whose size and shape mean it should not exist in California. Yet the cactus is there, with a gash through its side that beckons like a familiar door. So she enters it. What awaits her inside this mystical succulent sets her on a journey at once desolate and rich, hilarious and poignant.This is Melissa Broder at her most imaginative, most universal, and finest. This is <i>Death Valley</i>.<b>PRAISE FOR </
