Review
Elegant, absorbing . . . What a fine ear Markovits has for the way people talk . . . Each exchange is a prolonged, expert rally, with the book as the ball, bearing the imprint of each family member in turn. (Xan Brooks Guardian)
A book to be savoured . for its granular evocation of family life . . . Hugely enjoyable. (Anthony Cummins Observer)
Intimate, funny and agile enough to capture the ever-shifting sands on which family life is built . . . Masterfully done. (Stephanie Cross Daily Mail)
Sophisticated and engrossing . . . full of authentically captured emotion and wonderfully acute observation . . . the imprint of Saul Bellow is evident [yet] Markovits's voice feels wholly his own . . . This is a subtle, ruminative novel of family life, generational conflict and compromise [and] marks a novelist coming into his own. (Jude Cook Literary Review)
A good writer makes the reading easy and Markovits makes for a smooth, immersive ride . Markovits has a lively eye for the small, ingrained moments of everyday life, and this gives his writing its authenticity. (Alasdair McKillop Herald)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'What are you feeling so anxious about? I'm the guy who has to go out there and lose.''That's what I don't like. That's what you don't realise. It's harder on the rest of us.''I'm sure it must be,' he said.Paul Essinger is a mid-ranking tennis professional on the ATP tour. His girlfriend Dana is an ex-model and photographer, and the mother of their two-year-old son, Cal. Together they form a tableau of the contented upper-middle-class New York family. But summer storms are blowing through Manhattan, and Paul's parents have come to stay in the build-up to the US Open. Over the course of the weekend, several generations of domestic tension are brought to boiling point .What does it mean to be a family? To be an individual? And how do we deal with the responsibilities these roles impose upon us? A Weekend In New York intertwines the politics of the household and the state to forge a luminous national portrait on a deceptively local scale. Recalling some of America's most celebrated novelists - this is John Updike's Rabbit for a new generation - Benjamin Markovits' writing reminds us of the heights that social realism can reach.
