In Sam Lip­syte​’s newest col­lec­tion, The Fun Parts (Far­rar, Straus and Giroux), he brings to life a real­i­ty-bran­dish­ing mon­ster prey­ing on a boy’s fan­ta­sy realm, the daugh­ter of a Holo­caust sur­vivor, who makes the most shock­ing leap imag­in­able to save her soul, a dooms­day hus­tler, and a griz­zled male birth doula, among oth­ers. The Fun Parts will be pub­lished on March 5th.
