From the New York Times bestselling author of My Absolute Darling, Crux is a literary novel about intense friendship, grit and the risk of chasing a different future.
Dan and Tamma are two teenagers in their last year of high school in the southern Mojave Desert. One is a gifted golden child, the other a mouthy burnout. During cold desert nights, they climb boulders in trash-strewn parking lots, forming a bond built on escape, ambition and the dream of a more adventurous life.
As the school year progresses and adulthood draws closer, their circumstances begin to pull them in different directions. Differences in class, talent and opportunity become harder to ignore, while their choices grow more consequential and dangerous.
With vivid nature writing and a deep appreciation for the redemptive power of friendship, Gabriel Tallent tells a soul-searching story about risk, loyalty and the courage it takes to change your life.
