The Index of Self-Destructive Acts

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2020 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

"A significant novel, beautifully crafted and deeply felt. Beha creates a high bonfire of our era's vanities. . . . This is a novel to savor." --Colum McCann

Through baseball, finance, media, and religion, Beha traces the passing of the torch from the old establishment to the new meritocracy, exploring how each generation's failure helped land us where we are today
