National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Honoree

'A taut, energetic, tender and wholly original debut' George Saunders

'Sammartino's brilliance and originality shine out from every page' Jenny Offill

David Rizzo has been waiting for a sign from above. Owner of a failing firearms store in a sun-bleached corner of Arizona, he's drowning in debt and desperate for a word from his estranged adult son, Nick. When Nick is brought back from a near-fatal heroin overdose, Rizzo believes there's reason for hope: if Nick can return from the dead, so can his business.

The flailing father-son duo embark on a marketing ploy to create the most compelling television commercial for a gun emporium the world has ever seen. But their relationship is fragile, mired in things left unsaid, and when Rizzo unknowingly supplies the weapon in a school shooting, a crash of hijinks, hope and disaster ensues.

MORE PRAISE FOR LAST ACTS:

'A magnificent sentence writer' New York Times Book Review

'Precise, funny and will break your heart all at once' Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah

'An astonishing baller of a book so pitch perfect in voice (Tony Soprano meets Samuel Beckett)' Marry Karr

'Big hearted and hilarious' Dana Spiotta

'Raucous, irreverent' Chicago Review of Books
