Good on Paper

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SECOND NOVEL FROM THE WRITER EMILY ST. JOHN MANDEL (STATION ELEVEN) CALLS â€œSHARP, WITTY, AND IMMENSELY ENTERTAININGâ€
Â
Is a new life possible? Because Shira Greeneâ€™s life hasnâ€™t quite turned out as planned. Sheâ€™s a single mom living withÂ her daughter and her gay friend, Ahmad.Â Her PhD on Danteâ€™sÂ Vita NuovaÂ hasnâ€™t gotten her a job, and her career as a translator hasnâ€™t exactly taken offÂ either.

But then she gets a call from aÂ Nobel Prize-winning Italian poet who insistsÂ sheâ€™s the only one who canÂ translateÂ his newest book.

Stunned, Shira realizes thatâ€”just like thatâ€” her lifeÂ can change.Â She seesÂ a new beginning beckoning:Â academic glory,Â demand for her translations,Â and even love (her good luck has made her feel more open to theÂ entreaties of a neighborhood indie bookstore owner).

Thereâ€™s only one problem: It all hinges on the translation, and as Shira starts working on theÂ exquisitely intricate passages of the poetâ€™s book, she realizes that it may in fact be, well ... impossible to translate.

A deft, funny, and big-hearted novel about second chances,Â Good on PaperÂ is a grand novel of family, friendship, and possibility.
