"Adam Levin’s debut novel The Instructions
was one of the most buzzed-about books of 2010, a sprawling universe of
“death-defying sentences, manic wit, exciting provocations and simple
human warmth” (Rolling Stone).
Now, in the stories of Hot Pink,
Levin delivers ten smaller worlds, shaken snow-globes of overweight
romantics, legless prodigies, quixotic dollmakers, Chicagoland thugs,
dirty old men, protective fathers, balloon-laden dumptrucks, and walls
that ooze gels. Told with lust and affection, karate and tenderness,
slapstickery, ferocity, and heart, Hot Pink is the work of a major talent in his sharpest form."
