The Pulitzer Prizeâwinning authorâs âstrange and finally beautiful tale about obsession and modern loveâ (Beth Kephart, The Baltimore Sun). Â Fair Warning is acclaimed novelist Robert Olen Butlerâs enthralling glimpse into a Manhattan auction house that caters to the shopping pheromones of the rich and powerful. Â At age forty, the companyâs charismatic star employee, Amy Dickerson, is capable of selling a Renoir painting of a pudgy nude for twice its value. Her customers are intoxicated by the objects they covet. And sometimes, such as when the dark and mysterious Trevor locks eyes with Amy as she closes an auction with âfair warning,â that object is Amy herself. Selected as a Book Sense 76 title and as a New York Times Summer Reading title, Fair Warning âis as frank and sassy as its heroineâ (Amanda Heller, The Boston Globe). Â âFair Warning deserves our praise, but its author also deserves our gratitude, for his continued risk-taking and stubbornly singular sensibility.â âTodd Kliman, The Washington Post |
