ABOUT THE NIX

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“The Nix is a mother-son psychodrama with ghosts and politics, but it’s also a tragicomedy about anger and sanctimony in America. . . .  Nathan Hill is a maestro.” —John Irving

From the suburban Midwest to New York City to the 1968 riots that rocked Chicago and beyond, The Nix explores—with sharp humor and a fierce tenderness—the resilience of love and home, even in times of radical change.

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.

The Woman You Should Really Be With, Won’t Put Up With Your Sh*t

Check out this post by Marisa Donnelly

The woman you should really be with will be your counterpart. She will be the North to your South-facing compass. She will be the hot to your cool. She will be the silence to your voice. She will balance you. She will keep you grounded, yet free.

The woman you should really be with, will be the woman who stands by your side, not behind you while you lead the way. She will walk with you, arm in arm, hand in hand. She will be the woman who sometimes steps first, and who sometimes lets you take the lead.

She will be the woman with a voice, the woman who speaks up, the woman who fights for and with you.

The woman you should really be with will be strong. Strong enough to stand on her two feet, strong enough to stand up for you, and strong enough to stand up to you.

She will be the woman who pursues her dreams alongside yours. She will be the woman who relentlessly goes after her desires and the desires of those she loves. She will be the woman that won’t have a problem being honest with you, even if it’s hard for the both of you to hear.

The woman you should really be with will be feisty to your quiet, tender to your bold. She will be the woman that compliments you, challenges you, and makes you believe and fight for the promise of love.

The woman you should really be with won’t take it easy on you. She will share her opinions, be fierce when necessary, and argue with you about what counts.
