The New York Times best-selling author of The Nix is back with a poignant and witty novel about marriage, the often baffling pursuit of health and happiness, and the stories that bind us together. From the gritty '90s Chicago art scene to a suburbia of detox diets and home-renovation hysteria, Wellness reimagines the love story with a healthy dose of insight, irony, and heart.

“A hilarious and moving exploration of a modern marriage that astounds in its breadth and intimacy.”—Brit Bennett, author of The Vanishing Half

When Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the '90s, the two quickly join forces and hold on tight, each eager to claim a place in Chicago’s thriving underground art scene with an appreciative kindred spirit. Fast-forward twenty years to married life, and alongside the challenges of parenting, they encounter cults disguised as mindfulness support groups, polyamorous would-be suitors, Facebook wars, and something called Love Potion Number Nine.

For the first time, Jack and Elizabeth struggle to recognize each other, and the no-longer-youthful dreamers are forced to face their demons, from unfulfilled career ambitions to painful childhood memories of their own dysfunctional families. In the process, Jack and Elizabeth must undertake separate, personal excavations, or risk losing the best thing in their lives: each other.

«Нёкк» – удивительный сплав норвежских преданий, компьютерных игр, американской поп-культуры и классической литературной традиции, который придется по вкусу всем ценителям вдумчивой прозы.

Когда Самюэль был еще мальчишкой, от них с отцом ушла мать. Она целый год постепенно выносила свои вещи из дома, пока в последний момент не ушла навсегда всего с одним чемоданом. И вот много лет спустя неизвестный совершает нападение на губернатора. Из новостей Сэмюэль узнает, что дерзкое и какое-то совершенно абсурдное нападение совершила его мать. С криком «Ах ты свинья!» она бросила в губернатора горстью щебня, из-за чего серьезно повредила ему глаз. Вот только на продуманное нападение это не похоже – никто не знал, что губернатор окажется именно в это время именно в этом месте. Их встреча – случайность. Газеты, раздобыв где-то снимок 60-х годов, называют ее «радикальной хиппи». Сэмюэль запомнил её тихой и скромной домохозяйкой. Так кем же она была на самом деле и почему совершила такой поступок? Расследование заведет Сэмюэля в Норвегию, на родину его предков, а затем и в собственное прошлое, где его поджидает множество тайн.

Мать ушла из дома, когда Сэмюэл был мальчишкой. И десятки лет спустя они снова встречаются. О матери, совершившей довольно абсурдное преступление, заговорили СМИ, а Сэмюэлу предложили написать ее биографию. Так кем же она была — хиппи-радикалкой, какой ее представляют журналисты, или скромной домохозяйкой — такой ее запомнил Сэмюэл. Ему предстоит узнать много тайн,…

Nathan Hill's brilliant debut takes the reader from the rural Midwest of the 1960s, to New York City during Occupy Wall Street; from Chicago in 1968, to wartime Norway: home of the mysterious Nix.
Meet Samuel: stalled writer, bored teacher at a local college, obsessive player of online video games. He hasn't seen his mother, Faye, in decades, not since she abandoned her family when he was a boy. Now she has suddenly reappeared, having committed an absurd politically motivated crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the Internet, and inflames a divided America. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart. Which version of his mother is true? Two facts are certain: she's facing some serious charges, and she needs Samuel's help.
As Samuel begins to excavate his mother's, and his country's, history, he will unexpectedly find that he has to rethink everything he ever knew about her - a woman with an epic story of her own, a story she has kept hidden from the world.

It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson—college professor, stalled writer—has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn’t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paint Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart. Which version of his mother is true? Two facts are certain: she’s facing some serious charges, and she needs Samuel’s help.

To save her, Samuel will have to embark on his own journey, uncovering long-buried secrets about the woman he thought he knew, secrets that stretch across generations and have their origin all the way back in Norway, home of the mysterious Nix. As he does so, Samuel will confront not only Faye’s losses but also his own lost love and will relearn everything he thought he knew about his mother and himself.
