Ten Thousand Saints by Eleanor Henderson.. This is a loud book about loud rock ‘n’ roll, but if you ever wondered what happened to the gen that came of age in the ‘80s, here’s your concert ticket. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"The ambition of “Ten Thousand Saints,” Eleanor Henderson’s debut novel about a group of unambitious lost souls, is beautiful. In nearly 400 pages, Henderson does not hold back once: she writes the hell out of every moment, every scene, every perspective, every fleeting impression, every impulse and desire and bit of emotional detritus. She is never ironic or underwhelmed; her preferred mode is fierce, devoted and elegiac." – The New York Times "Ten Thousand Saints’ is a whirling dervish of a first novel — a planet, a universe, a trip. As wild as that may sound, wonder of wonders, the book is also carefully and lovingly created, taking the reader far into the lives and souls of its characters and bringing them back out again, blinking in the bright light." – The Los Angeles Times |
