What is Broken People about?
A groundbreaking, incandescent debut novel about coming to grips with the past and ourselves “He fixes everything that’s wrong with you in three days.” This is the alluring promise that first hooks Sam when he overhears it at a party in the Hollywood Hills: the story of a globe-trotting master healer who claims to perform “open-soul surgery” on the emotionally damaged. And the shaman seems convincing—enough for neurotic, depressed Sam to sign up for a weekend under his care. But as Sam begins his slippery descent into the seductive world of modern mysticism, he’ll be forced to reckon with his troubled past, his self-delusions and the very nature of what it means to be well. But are the great spirits the shaman says he’s summoning real at all? Or are the ghosts in Sam’s memory more powerful than any magic? At turns tender and acid, bracing and true, Broken People is a dazzling modern parable about hope, faith and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.
