FROM EMMY-NOMINATED AUTHOR FOR VICE NEWS PIECE "NATIONAL ANTHEM PROTESTS ARE SPREADING TO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAMS"
“Loopy, hilarious, neo-noir novel… an extremely smart, funny debut, with moments of haunting beauty.” —Boston Globe
Exceedingly unique, pulsing with vigor and heart, and loaded with fierce, fresh language, The Dead Do Not Improve confirms Jay Caspian Kang as a true American original. When struggling writer Philip Kim is dragged into a complex mystery after his neighbor is murdered, Sid Finch, a homicide detective bitter about everything except his gorgeous wife, and his phlegmatic, pockmarked partner, Jim Kim, land the case. Philip becomes the baffled focus of an elaborate, violent scheme that seems tied to his neighbor's murder, and the cops think he might be involved. With an intelligent narrative voice that that moves effortlessly between hilarity, satire, poignancy, and madcap digressions, Kang has written a trippy, self-aware novel obsessed with the Virginia Tech massacre, surfing, and identity.
