I am better for having read it.”—Jamie Lee CurtisA groundbreaking, incandescent debut novel about coming to grips with the past and ourselves, for fans of Sally Rooney, Hanya Yanagihara and Garth Greenwell“He fixes everything that’s wrong with you in three days.”This is what hooks Sam when he first overhears it at a fancy dinner party in the Hollywood hills: the story of a globe-trotting shaman who claims to perform “open-soul surgery” on emotionally damaged people. For neurotic, depressed Sam, new to Los Angeles after his life in New York imploded, the possibility of total transformation is utterly tantalizing. He’s desperate for something to believe in, and the shaman—who promises ancient rituals, plant medicine and encounters with the divine—seems convincing, enough for Sam to sign up for a weekend under his care.But are the great spirits the shaman says he’s summoning real at all? Or are the ghosts in Sam’s memory more powerful than any magic?At turns tender and acid, funny and wise, Broken People is a journey into the nature of truth and fiction—a story of discovering hope amid cynicism, intimacy within chaos and peace in our own skin.

Special Edition Broken People: A Novel with Free EASY Reading!

Sam Lansky can write. In this slightly fictionalized account of his own late 20's malaise, a depressive but incredibly successful gay journalist named Sam attends a weekend wellness retreat in Portland. Formally, this novel is the type where very little plot happens, and the real focus is on character and memory. However, because this novel focuses on a character who isn't particularly sympathetic, so it's a bit of a chore to be subjected to his litany of oppressively bleak flashbacks. The writing focuses only on Sam, and his lovers, parents, and friends are constantly sidelined. To Lansky's credit as an author, he definitely portrays his supporting characters three-dimensionally, but his main character is so myopic and self-absorbed that there simply isn't space in his story to explore what anyone else is going through.Where does this book fit into a rapidly expanding gay canon? It explores addiction in a similar way to Ocean Vuong's On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous, dives into the self-hate and shame that us gay men often feel a bit like Garth Greenwell's What Belongs to You, and it has a self-deprecating sense of humor that occasionally resembles Andrew Sean Greer's Pulitzer winner, Less. Broken People is just as insightful as these novels in terms of its observations about gay (privileged) life, but Sam Lansky is still finding his voice as a writer. At his best, his writing reminds me a bit of the early seasons of Eastsiders, a web series about narcissistic and self-destructive LA gays that slowly blossoms into something wise and humanist as it expands the story beyond its two messed up leads. Sam Lansky is really funny, really insightful, and genuinely talented. I think that when he expands his net and starts writing about other people, instead of just himself, that he will shine! Reading his novel, my favorite scenes were between Sam and his mom, and between Sam and his best friend in the first third of the story. This book should have been called Broken Person, rather than Broken People.The last thing to note about this novel is that while it's probably quite relevant for upper class, gay white male readers living on the east or west coasts, it will probably alienate readers of color like me. The author is definitely aware of the absurdity of his privilege, but at the same time this book doesn't feature any characters of color or even any characters that aren't upper class in meaningful roles. Reading this novel feels a lot like scrolling through an Instagram feed with its descriptions of beautiful white people going to spin classes, traipsing around Manhattan, and vacationing in the Hamptons. My week has been filled with Black Lives Matter protests and vigils, so sit was a bit jarring to read this novel. Sam's problems are real, and it's not Lansky's fault that the literary world is so white and privileged, but this isn't a cultural moment where what he has to say feels particularly relevant.
