“A high-wattage thrilling comedic fantasy. A novel as FEARLESS as the title suggests in exploring the vast expanse of what it means to be courageous and vulnerable as we face the hazards of our own ambitions, insecurities, and our past. An absolute MUST read! It will hook you and never let you go.”—Melissa Rauch, Actor, Writer & Producer
“Like Vonnegut, Benjamin Warner writes with his whole head and his whole heart. Fearless is funny, surprising and moving, somehow both absurd and warm, with characters who could walk off the page. It’s magic.”—Rob Roensch, author of The World and the Zoo and The Wildflowers of Baltimore
“Benjamin Warner’s Fearless is a tender, funny, sideways investigation of what it means to feel, even when we think our world has slipped away from us—or we’ve slipped away from our world—to love through loss and to traverse the tricky terrain of caring for those who need us. In tightrope-walking, lyric prose, Warner populates a burning wintry city with unlikely inhabitants whose lives crisscross through the smoke (and submerged trauma) that both keeps them apart and pulls them back together. Fearless is daring and fast, immersive and poignant, cohered through Warner’s dexterity in capturing the intricate vulnerabilities of being human.”—Thea Brown, author of Famous Times and Think of the Danger
Purchase Thirst at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or an independent bookseller.
"An emergency from its very first sentence, Thirst is a literary thriller that summons the survivalist terror of The Road and the beautiful, aching humanity of writers like Ursula K. Le Guin and José Saramago. It’s also a tense, prescient journey into a collective environmental nightmare--one that’s not very hard to imagine actually happening. This book tapped into fears I didn’t know I had. Warner has given us a worthy, shocking, and poetic debut." ―Patrick Somerville, author of THIS BRIGHT RIVER AND THE CRADLE
"Thirst mirrors the deep anxiety so many feel about modern life: that its complexity makes it fragile and that we're all living on the edge of disaster." ―Mary Doria Russell, author of THE SPARROW and EPITAPH
"Yes, Thirst, Benjamin Warner’s devastating and breathtaking debut, is a novel about water. But it’s also about what it means to be in love, what it means to share--or to think you are sharing--your life with another person. This is a story about community (that ever slippery union) and, further still, about humanity. In limiting his fine focus to the particular--an unimposing suburban neighborhood suddenly isolated and inexplicably without water--Warner taps into a universal: Even at our lowest, our loneliest, and in our most desperate hour, we are still human, still connected, still capable of that sweet appreciation for what it means to be alive. My advice: Read this book. It will make you a better person." ―Hannah Pittard, author of REUNION
"A gripping parable of love and survival as well as a harrowing exploration of our darkest selves. Thrilling and thought-provoking, and dazzling in scope, Benjamin Warner's debut is a surprising, profound portrait of desperation and humanity--and who we are when we are stripped down to our most basic needs." ―Catherine Chung, author of FORGOTTEN COUNTRY
