The arrival of Haley Roth--an impassioned heroine with a dark secret--propels David and Mathias to expand their movement across college campuses nationwide, inspiring a cult-like following. As the final superstorm arrives, they toe the line between good and evil, deliverance and demagogues, the damned and the saved. <br> In this sprawling, ambitious debut, Adam Nemett delves into contemporary life in all of its chaos and unknowing. <i>We Can Save Us All</i> is a brave, ribald, and multi-layered examination of what may be the fundamental question of our time: just who is responsible for fixing all of this?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Nemett's recipe for disaster is sound--a dash of Pynchon, a hint of Neal Stephenson, and a nihilistic undertone that belies a semihopeful denouement... a confident, visceral debut that's worth the ride. --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>Nemett's refreshing and high-energy novel has the heart and moral tension of a superhero story and the growing pains of a bildungsroman. --<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>Nemett's wondrously fresh novel positively bursts with charm, heart, and invention. --<i>Booklist</i>, Starred Review<br><br>"An unlikely but timely contribution to the ongoing #MeToo dialog as well as humorous riposte to concerns about society and the environment.
