  The Adulterants

  For fans of Roddy Doyle, Nick Hornby, and Mark Haddon, The Adulterants is a piercingly funny—and cringingly poignant—take on how hard it is to grow up and how hard it is when you don't. 
   
    
   
  Ray Morris is a tech journalist with a forgettable face, a tiresome manner, a small but dedicated group of friends, and a wife, Garthene, who is pregnant. He is a man who has never been punched above the neck. He has never committed adultery with his actual body. He has never been caught up in a riot, nor arrested, nor tagged by the state, nor become an international hate-figure. Not until the summer of 2011, when discontent is rising on the streets and within his marriage. Ray has noticed none of this. Not yet. 
   
   
   
  The Adulterants would be a coming-of-age story if its protagonist could only forget that he is thirty-three years old. Throughout a series of escalating catastrophes, our deadpan antihero keeps up a merciless mental commentary on the foibles and failings of those around him, and the vicissitudes of modern urban life: internet trolls, buy-to-let landlords, open marriages, and the threat posed by more sensitive men. But the wonder of The Adulterants is how we feel ourselves rooting for Ray even as we acknowledge that he deserves everything he gets.

  A 2025 International Booker Prize Shortlist Nominee 
   
   
   
  A scathing, provocative novel about contemporary existence by a rising star in Italian literature. 
   
   
   
  Anna and Tom, an expat couple, have fashioned a dream life for themselves in Berlin. They are young digital "creatives" exploring the excitements of the city, freelancers without too many constraints, who spend their free time cultivating house plants and their images online. At first, they reasonably deduce that they've turned their passion for aesthetics into a viable, even enviable career, but the years go by, and Anna and Tom grow bored. As their friends move back home or move on, so their own work and sex life—and the life of Berlin itself—begin to lose their luster. An attempt to put their politics into action fizzles in embarrassed self-doubt. Edging closer to forty, they try living as digital nomads only to discover that, wherever they go, "the brand of oat milk in their flat whites was the same." 
   
   
   
  Perfection is a scathing novel about contemporary existence, a tale of two people gradually waking up to find themselves in various traps, wondering how it all came to be. Was it a lack of foresight, or were they just born too late?

  My perfect summer just got ruined by a brunette in a tool belt. 
   
   
   
  This was my summer to get away from it all. Live like a hermit. Fix up my family's vacation home. Until Ella arrived. 
   
   
   
  My infuriating neighbor has returned for beach season. Ever since our families bought summer homes next to each other, that was the beginning of our neighbor war. Now I have to see her every. single. day. 
   
   
   
  When I let it slip that I'm making a few home improvements, she jumps at the chance to help. She's an interior designer who needs work. I'm a man who loathes shopping. Any mention of the words color palette makes me want to break out in hives. 
   
   
   
  We're the dynamic duo for this fixer upper. There's only one problem: the more time we spend together, the more attracted I am to her. Now our on-the-job flirting is veering into dangerous territory. 
   
   
   
  Because if there's one thing I know, Ella and I are not meant to be together. I'm emotionally unavailable. She's sworn off relationships. And our families hate each other. 
   
   
   
  I know my future is at stake. But I can't seem to tear myself away from this project . . . or her. So I tell myself: I most definitely will not fall for my neighbor.
