From the author of the cult classic Treasure Island!!!, a delightfully unhinged comedy following a woman as she attempts to exorcise the spirit of a dead corgi from her nephew and renegotiate the borders of her previously rational worldĀ
Rose Cutler defines herself by her exacting standards. As an anti-racist, Jewish secular feminist eco-warrior, she is convinced she knows the right way to do everything, including parent her six-year-old nephew Nathan. When Rose offers to look after him while his parents visit Mexico for a week, her brother and sister-in-law reluctantly agree, provided she understands the rulesāroutine, bedtime, homeworkāand doesnāt overstep. But when Roseās Newfoundland attacks and kills a corgi at the park, Nathan starts acting barking, overeating, talking to himself. Rose mistakes this behavior as repressed grief over the corgiās death, but Nathan insists he isnāt grieving, and the dog isnāt dead. Her soul leaped into his body, and now sheās living inside him. Now Rose must banish the corgi from her nephew before the week ends and his parents return to collect their child.Ā Ā
With the ferocious absurdity of Rachel Yoderās Nightbitch and the dark, brazen humor of Melissa Broderās Death Valley, The Hitch is a tantalizingly bizarre novel about loneliness, bad boundaries, and the ill-fated strategy of micromanaging everything and everyone around you.Ā
