A 2013 BEA Buzz Selection and a Barnes & Noble Discover pick, "The Facades" is one of the most remarkable and talked-about debut novels in recent memory. Set in the once-great Midwestern city of Trude--a treacherous maze of convoluted shopping malls, barricaded libraries, and elitist assisted-living homes--Lundgren's novel follows a disconsolate legal clerk named Sven Norberg, who sets out to investigate his wife's disappearance. Written with boundless intelligence and razor-sharp wit, "The Facades" is a comic and existential mystery that unfolds at the urgent pace of a thriller.
"The Facades" has been met with rapturous reviews upon its publication, and will be read and discussed for many years to come.
