Böcker av Alice Berman

This book is a running catalogue of all the thoughts you have when you're leaving a party, when you're waking up on a summer day and it feels like you've drunk too much summer, when you're heartbroken and still sort of mad but valiantly pretending to be neither. These poems are composed from snippets of words that echo through your head in all kinds of likely and unlikely circumstances, and all the moments of waiting that characterize in-between time.

A lavish, snowy weekend in New Hampshire ends in tragedy - and, a few months later, one of the party-goers is found dead. As famed podcaster Tyler Carroll tries to discover the truth around Alex Sable's dramatic death, he turns to the native Upper East Siders who knew the billionaire's son best. Each of the six people Tyler is investigating has something to hide, and each has chosen a wildly different path: Lulu is an LA influencer, Maxie a Park Avenue Princess turned Chicago housewife, Will a status-obsessed lawyer, Rob a money-hungry trader, Yael a not-so-innocent ER doctor, and Alex himself a party boy with a penchant for darker trouble than even his friends knew. With the shadow of a fifteen-year-old crime hanging over Alex's life, Tyler delves deeply into the complex past that seems almost to have disappeared from memory, hoping to find any answers around who Alex was, alive and dead.
