Hannah Gold
“The gigawattage of Hannah Gold's wit and intelligence could light up Manhattan—and in Why Trees they literally do. Read this book or I'll kill you!” —Tony Tulathimutte, author of Rejection
Accomplished critic Hannah Gold makes her fiction debut in this funny, wise, curious collection of stories exploring the glorious absurdities of life in New York City
“People suffering extreme emotional states can so easily fly under the radar in this city, don’t you find?”
Across the nine stories in Why Trees, New Yorkers find themselves spotlit on a beautiful, dysfunctional stage cluttered with artists, grifters, and eccentrics all attempting to secure increasingly scarce footholds for themselves before the curtains come down. A prolific night blogger for a feminist website uses her boyfriend as a writing chair. A reality TV family hailing from Soho meets their superfan. A journalist working for an insolvent local newsroom ventures out to an artists’ encampment on Ellis Island for one final scoop. These characters’ quests—for love, creative fulfillment, a steady paycheck, a sense of belonging—are only further complicated by the follies of city living: financial and emotional insecurity, vanity, propinquity, and pure chaos.
Precise but playful, wry but emotionally resonant, Why Trees introduces a charming, perceptive, original voice through these sharp and memorable portraits of characters performing for mercurial audiences, seeking connection, and straining against the boundaries that have been set for them.

批評家のレビュー
“Hannah Gold gives the NYC creative class a treatment both brutal and tender in Why Trees, her genre-bending, almost irritatingly funny first collection of short stories. To use a Hollywood-style hybridization like the ones these internet-steeped, frustrated hopefuls might enjoy: If Tony Tulathimutte’s Rejection had a baby with Mary Gaitskill’s Bad Behavior, you could begin to scratch at the absurd poetry of these tales and start to understand the hypnotic cadence and prescient mic drops that create the rhythm of this brilliant, unexpected writer. I predict that creative writing students nationwide will pore over these stories, recognize themselves a little too closely—perhaps needing to hide from them even as they can’t stop talking about them—and then teach them in seminars thirty years later.”—Lena Dunham
“The gigawattage of Hannah Gold’s wit and intelligence could light up Manhattan—and in Why Trees they literally do. These stories are as ruinously sleek and extravagant as stolen credit cards, a thrilling correction to the millennial miserabilism of yesterday. Read this book or I’ll kill you!” —Tony Tulathimutte, author of Rejection
