  An astonishing and unmissable debut from an exceptional talent Set in a working class suburb of Seattle, Matthew McIntosh's devastatingly beautiful first novel, Well, charts the lives of a vast cast of characters grappling with dark compulsions and heartrending afflictions. These are trapped people searching for escape or comfort in sex, drugs and violence, visions of apocalypse and creation, angels and killers. A brilliant meditation on the strength we have to recover from our failures, Well demonstrates McIntosh's unflinching vision and capacity for compassion. Wrought with emotion and sensitivity, Well is already being talked about as one of the most significant and daring debuts in American fiction for some time.
