Hardback. Condition: Good. Center for Fiction 2019 First Novel Prize Long List ?Dark, daring, and laugh-out-loud hilarious, Riots I Have Known is one of the smartest?and best?novels of the year.??NPR ?Chapman establishes himself as a master of wit, satire, and heart.??Apple Books ?[A] gritty, bracing debut.??Esquire ?Dazzling.Supremely mischievous and sublimely written.??Publishers Weekly (starred review)An unnamed Sri Lankan inmate has barricaded himself inside a prison computer lab in Dutchess County, New York. A riot rages outside, incited by a poem published in The Holding Pen, the house literary journal. This, our narrator?s final Editor?s Letter, is his confession. An official accounting of events, as they happened. As he awaits imminent and violent interruption, he takes us on a roller coaster ride of plot and language, determined to share his life story, and maybe answer a few questions. How did he end up here? Should he have remained a quiet Park Avenue doorman? Or continued his rise in the black markets of postwar Sri Lanka? What will become of The Holding Pen, a ?masterpiece of post-penal literature? favored by Brooklynites everywhere? And why does everyone think the riots are his fault? Can?t they see he?s really a good guy, doing it for the right reasons? Smart, wry, and laugh-out-loud funny, Ryan Chapman?s Riots I Have Known is an utter gem?an approachable send-up that packs a punch. Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine, says, ?Ryan Chapman has written a rocket-powered ode to literary creation and mass incarceration. Weaving satire and seriousness into a singularly rambunctious monologue, Riots I Have Known is a breath of fresh air.. …

Hardback. Condition: Good. In 72 hours, a blockbuster expose will reveal Victoria Stevens's multibillion-dollar startup as a massive fraud. And Victoria has gone missing. Has she faked her death, leaving her husband, Guy Sarvananthan, to face the fallout-and potential jail time? Should Guy flee to his native Sri Lanka, an outcast and a failure? Or embrace denial? Why not: he takes the corporate jet to a private Caribbean island, where the 0.0001% have gathered to decide which one of the world's biggest problems to 'eradicate forever.' Guy drinks and drugs his way into oblivion, through manicured jungles and aboard superyachts, amid captains of industry, legions of staff, and unlikely saboteurs. Meanwhile, Victoria narrates her side of the story from an off-the-grid location in the California desert. In scribbled diary entries shot through with cultish self-help mantras, she plots her comeback, confident she'll prove everyone wrong. Again. Ryan Chapman's incisive novel is a swan dive into the abyss and 'Martin Amis's Money for really late, late capitalism' (Amitava Kumar, author of A Time Outside This Time).…
