"A worker bee stumbles his way through an absurdist landscape in the company of two colleagues.The accomplished prose stylist Sam Lipsyte (The Fun Parts, 2013, etc.) chose this novel by Mulcahy (English/Century Coll.; Constellation, 1996, etc.) to receive the Catherine Doctorow Innovative Fiction Prize from Fiction Collective 2; readers with an acutely tuned ear for language may find something of value here." —Kirkus Reviews
PRAISE FOR CONSTELLATION
“One of the most deliciously strange novels of the year. . . . A scathing and hallucinatory parody of capitalism (and, obviously, Hamlet) that, of course, ends in senseless, tragic violence. Stylistically taut without being cold, Constellation is a depressing and laugh-out-loud book of the 1990s and a great indictment of our hype-ridden country by one of our most promising young novelists.”
—Booklist
PRAISE FOR CARBINE: STORIES
“Mulcahy mines everyman’s deep sense of failure and spiritual alienation. Mulcahy packs a surprising amount of power into each of these understated and beautifully wrought pieces.”
—Publisher’s Weekly
